Discussion Nvidia Blackwell in Q4-2024 ?

[reb0rn]

Its not 16 pin is just 12 pin its melting even on 400-450W, what you think it would happen on 550W?!
only idiot would use and buy this shit, and who ever do it need to be institutionalized (I say it who never had ATI/AMD card!! only NV for past 26y)

And now what to do with 12+4 crap connector use 2x (how would you have 2 at all???) or 1 and have our homes burned down, I ask if there any sane journalist to address this and nvidia is put to stop with their insane crap?

Yeah, I don't know how there hasn't been a forced recall by the EU on this design. I mean, I understand there being nothing done in the good'ol USA because the consumer protections are a complete joke and multiple people need to die before they force a recall from here, property damage is just an issue for the consumer's insurance (or lack of it), nothing to do with the government...

All you have to do is push the connector in, until the locking tab clicks into place. Since this simple fact was widely disseminated, cases of melted connectors almost ceased to exist.

So simple that they modified the connector. Early and late RTX 4000 series cards may even have different connectors.

NV and MSFT being sued for patent infringement. They are requesting an injunction to stop Blackwell sales until there’s a resolution. I don’t think anything impactful will come from this, but here’s the story.

The report highlights that Microsoft and NVIDIA may not be Xockets’ only targets but are at least the most profitable ones. Other companies, such as Broadcom, Intel, AMD, Marvell, Napatech, and Amazon, are also actively developing products similar to NVIDIA’s ConnectX, BlueField, and NVLink.

Everything that does anything to do with AI infringes their patents apparently.
