>playing video games with a ticking time bombYeah nah brh, I arent touching that shit with fifty-foot tongs. You do you.
yeah you'd rather touch a dick, gaylord lololololol
>>749012303what kind of crazy ass country has a plug like thatuse something sensible
OP BTFO

>>749012362oh nonononono op sisters.... we got raped...
Do you have to at least be fucking around in some way for this to happen or does this occur to people who just use the cards normally without overclock nonsense
>>749012303>connector burns down>they deemed it user error so it doesn't get covered by warranty>$5000 lost
>>749012814One managed to burn it down even while undervolting it to like 360w
>>749012814It'll happen to you no matter what because the cable and connector cannot handle the voltages being drawn. The angry pixies do not care if you plugged it in right or not, the only thing this changes is how much easier it is for them to escape and cause Expensive Sounds and Smells.
Reminder you can underclock and reduce power usage by 20% while losing sub 1% performance
>>749012960That won't stop the spikes though which are usually what causes this.
not a problem with a 1060, poorfags stay winning
>>749013014A spike isn't going to melt a cable... That's like thinking your hand is going to melt by waving it over a flame
It's only a matter of time
>>749012380Anon...
>>749013067this is preferable.
>>749012942>voltagesRetard doesn't understand electricity. The voltage is always 12v on the rail.
>>749013067i'm pretty sure most modern high-end cards don't take up only 2 pcie case slots of space, a card with an inbuilt power supply would probably take up like 4 at least
>>749012303>hold my beer
>>749012303>9070XT with 3x8pinNot my problem.
>>749012960That won't save a 5090 from melting the connector.
>>749014581>>749012960The only way to stop it as an end user is to limit it to ~96w.That way even if ALL of the current was running over a single conductor (which can happen with 12v high failure rate connector) it would still be within spec. (8A per conductor)
>>749012814Thermal cycles will inevitably shift it enough to cause a disconnect in some wires. Every 12VHPWR will burn down unless actively monitored, the only question is when.
Yeah. Nigger ass, might get whitey whipped sometime next menerashon. So too pcie. Slots and power conectors. All new and incompatible with people's boring mothers boarding at their hose or not.System on shit maybe.Plug in and play and no flames.Obviously itty bity plastic gets hot and gay ans weaty and says hay baby want a bj and you can't tell if they are male or model and it all gous savory, can't happen if it's all propperly. Eat broccoli don't wear it as a head helmet.
>>749014751Bro? You alright?
>>749013067honestly better
>>749013067The added weight and heat of an internal power supply on cards that can already rip your pcie slot off the board. Cool!
>>749013014I have a 4070 Ti Super. It's not happening.
>>749012303A man must brave the darkness, in order to see the stars.
>>749014935Either return to horizontal PC cases like the Apples or IBMs of olde, or make vertical GPU mounting the new standard.
>>749012303Power limit + voltage limit. Then you'll be fine, probably. >>749012380Oi mate, me bloody 12-pin pluggie got bloody blown up! Wish we 'ad them two pin power connectors from a country where they famously have lax safety regulations and have to turn everything off if there's a thunderstorm... bloody eck
>>749014393>get jewed twice
it's funny when you put them side by sideThey're basically the same size except now you're putting double the wattage per pin which is now smaller and there are 3 times as many power delivering pins
>user error>"waaaaah save me from my retardation, we need a new standard waaaaaaaah"
>>749017661we will get an external box gpus at this rate
You can buy custom PSU cables.
>>749022979>>749023054>spend more money on something that failsGenius!
>>749023054thanks doc
>>749023275The idea is that the cables which come prepackaged with the PSU are sometimes faulty and the sensors do not activate quickly enough to power down components, creating fires.With custom PSU cables you might not have to worry about that problem.https://www.techpowerup.com/352658/asrocks-tempguard-failed-to-stop-a-psu-side-connector-meltdown-on-a-usd-15-000-rtx-pro-6000-rig
>>749023363The cables aren't the issue and never have been - it is the connector itself. No matter where whatever is glued to the connector comes from the failure point remains the same.
>>749014717First time hearing this thermal cycle shift thingAny reads on this?
Why not solder them?
>>749023363Its the connector design you fucking retard no replacement cable will fix it, they have to redesign the fuckin thing and don't care enough to do so because ai literally prints them money
>>749023458In this case, the connector shorted out on the PSU side, saving the video card from harm, but obviously the header and the cable are going to be one and the same. It's unusually hard to separate the two once built.
>>749013067>110-220V AC directly into the GPUor >let's put a 600W power supply on the card and fit all that in a PCI-E slot don't worry about the sag
>>749013067This wouldn't work, a blackout or sudden short in the house's power would kill your card, I think.
>watching a derbauer vid>the shit with this shitty connector is so common he is able to make a crappy monitor connector with an lcd to try and prevent it from melting >even then his product still doesn't prevent melting some timesPoint is this shit is so common it's created a submarket in demand to try a alleviate it. What the fuckI wouldn't but anything from him anyway ever since he let his retarded ass got scammed big time by the chinks TWICE.
>>749023837There is nothing wrong with the connector - tech jesus PROVED it was all user error.
>>749022560you're right, it's on the user for buying into this shitty standard
>>749023897what a glowing endorsement
>>749023054>burns like it always does>SHOULDN'T HAVE USED AFTERMARKET CABLES
>>749024116I don't have a modular PSU so it's whatever, but almost everything is modular now so it's healthier to just get AM cables.
>>749024142Why would I take PSU advice from someone with a $50 PSU?
>>749024183My PSU was $100 I think.Most PSU's are $100 nowadays.
>>749012303I've been using/gaming, and building my own, PCs since the 90's. This has only ever happened once and not with the GPU, but the an ASRock motherboard and some no-name (if I recall correctly) PSU. The fucking thing just melted into the motherboard. It was over a decade ago now, I think.
>>749024236just looked it up, the last PSU I boughted for myself was almost 200 USD.
>>749024317That's very good, I should get a PSU for $150 if I intend to upgrade my video card.
>>749012380Should we tell him?
>>749023458cables can be an issue if the wires are smaller diameter than required
>house burns down>insurance doesn't pay out because you intentionally used a product with a known fire hazardThank you Jensen!
>>749026441>implying you survived the fire
>>749026606Every nvidia owner keeps a fire extinguisher close to hand since the gtx 480.
>>749027102"Every nvidia owner keeps a fire extinguisher close to hand since the gtx 480...."Whispers the ghost that doesn't know it's dead.
>>749027237Yeah that is unfair - fermi cards never actually melted down, that is a blackwell exclusive feature. Remember that bumpgate never happened either.
>>749012303This looks like the ass end of a wartorn starship.
>>749023459materials science and engineering: an introduction by william D. Callister, Jr & David G. Rethwisch
>>749023897>It's user error because you bought card with known fault.Bravo!
>>749012303Not a problem with good modern PSUs.
>>749023897Faulty by design. More power in less material = melt.This is pretty basic electric engineering.
>>749027689>anon thinks he knows more than nvidia and PCI-SIGYeah, no.
>>749012380>outs himself as a consolefag
>>749027894Blaming the connector is retarded but Nvidia's implementation requirements for their high-TDP GPUs were clearly subpar. If they told the OEMs so, every 5090 would have had to come with proper load balancing.
>>749028591If it is nvidia's fault and not the connector how come some 9070xt's have melted too?
>>749023459Plastic expands and contracts when heated like many other materialsThis will eventually shift the connector out of place enough to cause a loose enough connection that allows the connector to fail and burn down your house when the power draw spikes.
>>749018852it's nearly 100% effective at preventing damage to your hardware and money well spent if you have an expensive gpu
I have a 5080 and i'd much rather it came with 3x8-pin. But it didnt so im using the supplied adapter.
>>749030323It's a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist
>>749030452Rest in Rip
>>749030452>using the adapterOh no no no HAHAHAHAHA
>>749030725What the fuck else am i supposed to do?
>>749030789If you fags have any idea please tell me. Im a bit worried. €1400 is a chuck of money for me.
>>749031184I only have a 5070ti but I don't worry. To get to the same currents you see on a 5090 about 50% of all pins would have to fail completely which is very unlikely.
>>749030452>3x8-pinRookie numbers.
>>749012303Why did they create this instead of just having 3 or 4 PCI-E cables go into the GPU? Wouldn't that be safer.
>>749032543>Wouldn't that be safer.yeah but this is cheaper
>>749023054I just shoved all the cables in the back panel and then closed it up lol. cable management is for reddit updoots.
I love you faggots
>>749034219>>I just shoved all the cables in the back panel and then closed it up lol. cable management is for reddit updoots.I have the fan connectors in my case up front, but other than that nothing is really in the way
>graphics card pre-ai tax was expensive>refuse to package a decent version of this cablewhat did nvidia and 3rd party makers mean by thisno really, look at the fucking diagrams of these cables
>>749027652Cope. Already happened to a long-term tech reviewer using one of the best-rated PSUs
>>749035771>known AMD shills intentionally damage their connector for clicks>"its a real issue we swear!"lollmao even
>>749012814Haven't happened yet but I heard high end nvidia cards are designed in such a shit way that it's likely to happen
>>749035995No load balancing on the gpu side (the 3090 had it though) so the card doesn't know how it is receiving power only that it is so once you get a substantial change in resistance on any pin(s) the ones with lower resistance will feed as much power as the gpu requests. With thermal cycling you WILL eventually have uneven power draw and get to the point like these examples where only a couple pins are handling 600w rather than it being distributed across all of them and which point they get so hot and melt.
Came to ask what kind of space game would make a ship look like a 12-pin cable, only to find out it's actually a cable
>>749034396based. even with that mess, that fan's still gonna get all the air it needs
