I'm sure Arnold plugged his "military grade connector" into many ports back in the day 😉 .Arnold, is that a military grade power connector?
At this point if Nvidia wants to keep pursuing high wattage halo GPUs doggedly, they should make them external with their own PSU and include a riser cable that attaches to the PCIe slot through the vertical slot opening.
Meh, most to the fault is the user. It really isn’t that hard to make sure the cables are properly plugged in. I have a 4090FE WITHOUT an ATX 3.0 PSU and did not have an issue. When you are talking 500+ watts, you really need to slow down and make sure you do everything right.You never hear about data center cards based on the same dies having this problem. Maybe it costs closer to $10,000 to make a better connector.
That’s the American way, baby: privatize the gains, socialize the losses.That's what all companies say when they hit the jackpot. Wait till they hit a pile of something else instead, so they suddenly remember we should all join hands and share the burden. In fact wait until you see the darling A.I. companies of U.S. receive taxpayer money to burn on expensive silicon from Nvidia and others. That's when the real chest dumping will begin, pumping demand with tax money is a beauty. Why lose money when you can have tax money
In the name of gamers everywhere, I would like to thank U.S. taxpayers for their future contribution to this barely sustainable chip-making business. Press F to pay respects.

How much of a concern are the ground pins? Wouldn't they carry practically no current, making them less of a burn risk? Also, if the live pins are all making good contact, then the ground pins probably are too.But the very same connection problem could also happen at the GND pins, not only the 12V ones. So to have "full security" you need to monitor those as well but is suboptimal (you shift the GND level of the card a little compared to the motherboard and you need even more Shunt monitors).
Thanks for answering, so ground in this case is more like neutral is in an electrical outlet?The GND pins should carry more or less the exact same amount of current as the 12V pins Unless there is some current flow via the PCIe Slot GND connections.
8p had 3x 12V and 5x GND pins. There, GND was less critical because you had more pins on GND. 12p has 6x 12V and 6x GND.
Man... I wish this was real... if it had 1TB/s bandwidth.
Not much point in overclocking for those meager gains. Planning to put a waterblock on the GPU?Steel nomad = 15204
Timespy extreme = 24872
Port royal = 39680
+278 core passed port royal but crashed in timespy extreme, didnt test steel nomad
+3000 mem passed port royal but crashed in timespy extreme, didnt test steel nomad
Yes, alphacool waterblock pre-orderd on the 30thNot much point in overclocking for those meager gains. Planning to put a waterblock on the GPU?
With your use case, you would have TWICE the fun!Honestly, in light of these latest connector shenanigans, even if the cards were available and at MSRP, i am not sure i would not actually hesitate to get one to risk the issues.
Supply issues will likely push back mass production of the RTX 5070/5060 from the original Feb/Mar to Mar/Apr. Limited supply means these two cards will sell out instantly even if production stays on schedule.
Not enough chips.I have not been keeping up; what supply issues are involved?
I would not be getting 2, not even at MSRP. Its slowly getting into unaffordable territory, even if its used for work - people dont pay me enough sadly.With your use case, you would have TWICE the fun!
Yes. Only ones who get paid a lot are more often than not straight out dishonest cheaters and liars who have the bravado to do it with a smile.people dont pay me enough sadly.
