Probably Bound to Happen: Increased Power Draw for DLSS 5 Reportedly Claims Its First Victim After a User Finds an RTX 5090 with a Melted Power Ada...

The solder won't melt?

I'll let you think about that for a while before responding.

Call it a fuse

Call it a fuse

nice idea. lets mandate a fuse in every GPU power cable for 5080 & above class GPUs

Soldering would fix the resistance issue, right, but what about the voltage imbalance between pins, it wouldn't fix that would it? I would think some kind of hardware would be needed on the PCB to regulate the voltage per-pin, IIRC NVIDIA removed this hardware function.
