The case of cast connectors 12VHPWR for Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards, it has another sequel. Nvidia has commented on the whole matter. He said that so far there have been about 50 cases of melted connectors worldwide that he is aware of. If we consider that there are over 100,000 of these cards in circulation worldwide, we are talking about 0.05% of the cards involved. This does not indicate that this is a completely typical problem affecting a large number of users, but rather indicates what Nvidia has come up with.
He says all the data he’s found so far indicates that a connector was plugged in incorrectly or some other problem causing poor contact. Nvidia therefore recommends connecting power to the graphics card even before the graphics card is inserted into the motherboard (probably because then it is more complicated to apply the right amount of force so that the connector is properly seated and at the same time not damage the card Nvidia is now looking for other ways, to better ensure that users insert the connector correctly and avoid further problems.
