Pretty damning, nvidia seems to not care at all and did not bother to do a proper foolproof fix of the issue as per him (Buildzoid). Could have been done with cheap components too. :facepalm:

I definitely don't want to deal with these connectors even if risk is low ( but much higher than normal). Dont want to be looking at gpu all the time through case worrying about a fire.

Modders unconventionally cool GeForce RTX 4090 to 20°C and set sights on RTX 5090

I can't wait to see how GeForce RTX 5090 turns out once water blocks become available.

Liquid cooling is nothing new but employing an air conditioning unit into the loop is certainly unorthodox but that didn’t stop one Chinese content creator from trying, and succeeding. The results are compelling, cooling one of the most-powerful graphics cards around, GeForce RTX 4090. However, the mad men behind this system have their sights set on newer, more-powerful hardware still.

The creator reconfigured a 12,000 BTU air conditioner, removing its compressor and refrigeration gas and replacing it with good old-fashioned water. The idea was to use the outdoor unit’s massive radiator and fan to cool GeForce RTX 4090 and a Core i9-13900K to boot. If not for a lack of water blocks, we could have seen an RTX 5090 instead.

After hooking everything up and launching a stress test, the GPU sensors reported a cosy 48.7°C under load, with the hotspot at 57.5°C. That said the CPU was still toasty reaching 100°C on some cores at a room temperature of about 26°C. Though not accounting for any hardware inefficiencies, the PSU indicated a total of 1,000W for this machine. From the looks of it, this contraption was good enough to handle at least four machines at once, linking through a distribution block.

When moved outside to a snowy backdrop, the GPU temp moved further down to 20°C, with the hotspot at 36°C and CPU at around 62°C. Likewise, idle temps rested at a frosty 2°C on the GPU and 10°C on the CPU. Even the GPU hotspot didn’t exceed 12°C. A bit dangerous however, as the water could start freezing if the outside temperature drops much further, potentially causing the tubes to expand and burst if left for long.

While we would have loved to see the performance of an unmodified air conditioning unit, this is both a safer and more daily drivable solution. Keeping the original compressor and refrigeration gas would have resulted in sub-zero temperatures which cause condensation and thus possibly short circuits. Not to forget the accompanying power bill. Yes, there are solutions to the condensation, such as Vaseline and isolation, but that’s too much of a hassle when 48.7°C (or 20°C when applicable) is more than enough for a gaming machine.

Since air conditioning units can last even in harsh outside environments, this idea has the potential to become a daily solution for PC cooling, assuming you have the time and cash to customise one. I for sure will keep it in mind, in case I stumble upon a cheap second-hand unit.

GeForce RTX 5070 launch reportedly slips to early March, NVIDIA playing cat & mouse with AMD?​

The RTX5070 will be delayed. Instead of February, it will be on the shelf in early March.

RTX Cablegate update: First RTX 5080 cable melts, more 5090 cases, MODDIY changes its upgrade recommendation page ​

Not even GeForce RTX 5080 is safe from melting cables
The first report of a GeForce RTX 5080 experiencing issues with its 16-pin connector is troubling but investigations should identify the root cause.

Following reports of GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards experiencing issues with their 16-pin power connectors, the fumble now appears to encompass RTX 5080 too. It’s currently unclear what caused the problem in this particular instance, but professional analysis of the damage should arrive soon.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/1inhbo7/does_rog_lokis_molted_rtx_5000_gpu_12vhpwr_cable

Reddit user Ambitious_Ladder1320 shared images of their GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card and ROG Loki power supply to the Asus subreddit. Any damage to the latter component is difficult to make out and their pixel pusher looks undamaged to my eye. However, one of the pins on their 16-pin power cable has telltale signs of melting.

The user says their graphics card informed them that they hadn’t installed the 16-pin cable correctly via a flashing red light, presumably via Asus’ GPU Tweak III software. This was a head-scratcher, as they were certain they’d seated both headers correctly to the GPU and PSU.

Following a quick reseat, their card switched to PCIe 3.0 (down from 5.0) and couldn’t display their monitor’s maximum resolution nor refresh rate. Unplugging the cable again, Ambitious_Ladder1320 discovered the PSU side of the cable had melted while the GPU end was as clean as a whistle.

Curiously, this is the second time we’ve seen a 1,000W Asus ROG Loki power supply at the centre of the kerfuffle, as it appeared in der8auer’s latest analysis. Before jumping to conclusions, however, this issue is present across all brands of power supplies, indicating a potential problem with shared specifications rather than specific brands.

Gamers Nexus should offer some answers as to how this damage occurred as the YouTuber has already contacted the Reddit user requesting their GPU, PSU, and cable. Difficult as it is to find GeForce RTX 5080 and 5090 stock, Nexus is offering to pay full retail and “replace everything with whatever you want.” That’s one way to make a burn go down easier.

Club386 hasn’t experienced any issues related to melting power connectors but has dealt with other problems present on GeForce RTX 50 Series cards. Nvidia is actively investigating issues with its graphics cards and you can expect coverage from the site should the company publish any further statements.

I was quietly confident that GeForce RTX 5080 shouldn’t have experienced these issues due to its lower power draw relative to RTX 5090, but I may need to sit down and eat some humble pie. This does create an air of concern surrounding RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 but there’s no reason to presume these cards will suffer a fate similar to their siblings just yet.

Unfortunately for Nvidia, this controversy will remain exclusively with the company’s GeForce cards. Neither AMD nor Intel respectively adopt a 12VHPWR or 12V-2×6 headers on their most-recent pixel pushers, namely Radeon RX 9070 XT and Arc B570.

You can expect updates from me and the team as they unfold, so be sure to follow Club386 on Google News in the meantime. There are plenty of words from us all to look forward to as graphics cards, processors, and more (oh my!) continue to cross our desks.

Hello guys, I would like your thoughts on this matter:

I'm in the process of procuring a 7900 XTX for a friend and have been doing some research. It seems the more i look at it the more this card makes sense.

The Asus 7900 XTX 24GB TUF Gaming OC is available for about 90K INR near me and has roughly a 10% OC headroom. If you OC/UV it.. it literally matches the 5080 in raw raster performance.

The only thing this lacks is that FSR3 is not as good as DLSS in a apples to apples comparison but FSR4 with AI Frames might still be coming too the 7000 series cards (rumors) and ray tracing performance is absolutely trash tier but me and my friend dont really care about ray tracing that much anyway.

As we already know AMD is not launching any high end GPU's anymore and 9070 XT etc seems to be more of a 5070 5070 ti competitors.

5080 pricing is + 50% right now and since all AIB's have raised pricing in the US after tariff's i doubt even the cheapest 5080's might be available lower than 125-130k even if the price stabilizes.

Doesnt this make the 7900 XTX as the best price to performance GPU in the 90-150k range for the forseable future? Have already bought one and thinking about buying one for myself aswell.

Any thoughts and advices appreciated! Do you guys think paying upwards of 40k just for DLSS+AI Frames is worth it?

- 4090 launched with 1.51L price years later..... people are selling it for 1.2-1.51L how the F!?! (and that includes out of warranty or just 1-6 month warranty left cards too)and people are buying for those prices too!
how did nvidia managed to f gpu market this much than iphone market in terms of an items holding their value.
- get a 4090 or a used/second hand 4090 within warranty

- yes it is for gaming until something like 6000 or 7000 series comes around which is like 3-5 years away. which is quite far in future.
but hold on your range goes to 150k bro 4080super is also in that range and it can easily rival 7900xtx but i think your range is too wide.

- just for gaming?! hell no! (unless you have income sources to back it up or fill up the dent in the wallet). i would like to believe we are on the cusp of ai boom like NES. har ghar diwali ..... i mean har ghar mai computer waise hee har ghar mei ai (held back by nvidia like how intel did with ecc rams and core count back in 2010s decade),
that is how we saw sudden jump in RAMs of phones the moment ai joined the chat.
- now for ai related tasks i think adding another gpu just to make vram pool bigger along with 5080 can make it worth while a bit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- there is a thing called providing your gpu for ai tasks online well civitai uses such services.
- i think nvidia still dont know how to handle this ai situation or they are trying to squeeze gpu market as much as possible (those fkrs are literally indirectly helping in smuggling gpus to china yes the NON-D cards and the ai related stuff on which USA put sanctions n stuff)

Yes, get the 7900XTX, especially if RT hardly matters.

Unless you get a good deal on a used 4080S, the 7900XTX is a brilliant card, with oodles of VRAM. Its RT capability, while trash for its class, is still at the level of a 4070, which is doable, should you need RT at all for specific games. Add to that FS4 may come to it, as well.

From what i read, this might not happen. FSR4 probably needs new hardware.

But without RT, XTX probably will get very high framerates at native itself. For the brief time i tested, FSR quality at 4k was ok, but did not use it much.
For raster only, XTX should be very good, and nvidia cards probably are not worth it.
But some new games are RT only, so there it would be slower relatively ( but Nvidia prices are so shiit )

Why not wait for a month, maybe XTX will get cheaper due to FSR/RT
