I believe the engineers know well this is bad and objected. This issue is likely down to the looks & design language "johny ive" types having the last word and overriding engineer's safety&responsibility concerns and well, knowledgeMemes aside, could this be the start of issues at Nvidia in general?
I mean, they have almost 30.000 employees, is there really not a single person that looked at the 4090 cable issues and analysed the new cards? It's hard to believe ...
The FE is a 2 slot design. Thats the problem. No room for power connector safety features.
I'm pretty sure that's not true. just making the card 1 cm longer would for example make space for a second vertical connector, but spreading the heat between two connectors so that it's all safer is a huge nono for Nvidia's design guys apparently. The goals the card's design follow are just not aligned with such lowly things.
