RTX 4090s continue to melt - GPU repair facility claims it works on 200 flagship Nvidia cards per month
GPU repair shop NorthridgeFix reveals that the RTX 4090 melting catastrophe has not gone away as all have hoped. The repair shop reports that it continues receiving burned RTX 4090s from customers worldwide and repairs said GPUs "every single day." NorthridgeFix showed some daming evidence of this fact when it revealed a box full of melted 16-pin power connectors.

NorthridgeFix also revealed that many RTX 4090s it receives also come as a result of melted CableMod power adapters. These are the original adapters that CableMod officially discontinued and recalled. However, there's no guarantee that all its customers will stop using the adapter. NorthridgeFix admits that the initial design was "built on the wrong foundation."

I remember this problem, and it was very often associated with poor quality adapters. If the contact is poor, this will cause additional overheating. I know that miners are trying to use new power supplies with this connector and their video cards work perfectly. But they try to regulate consumption and operate in a consumption mode of 250-330 watts

not quality adapter but they lack pins, 3080ti suprim x has 24 pins and that one has 16 pins? it is a hardware hashrate limiter, unlike LHR those who don't limit power consumption/lower their hashes burns LOL
