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...

My hard hot E-Peen says I am holding it right... the problem is my connector is going soft in the heat and just can't stay solid. I'm thinking some kind of desensitizing (cooling) coating needs to be used so my connector can stay firm longer and really drive home the pleasure... of gaming.

Modders swap RTX 5090's 16-pin connector for 8-pins and run it at 900W without melting

The modified card ran at loads exceeding 120A and clocks around 3,400MHz for over an hour, while cable temperatures stayed below 35 degrees.

There's hope. Upto 900W without any melting concerns but say bye bye to warranty if you do this to your $5K GPU.

Posted on that one here.

Modders Retrofit a GeForce RTX 5090 with Three 8-Pin Connectors and Test with over 900W of Power to Reach 3.4 GHz

Those clever folks over at Teclab are at it again, and this time around they’ve not only ditched the infamous 16-pin connector but replaced it with 3x 8-pin connectors. The modders from Brazil took a Galax GeForce RTX 5090D HOF OC LAB XOC graphics card and retrofitted it with a setup commonly...

Just curious, has anyone heard of one melting on a card with a custom loop? I don't remember ever seeing pics of one.

Well seeing as how installing a water block almost surely voids a warranty. I'd be willing to bet any such cards were reverted to the stock cooling solution for pics.
 
Uncapped frame rates are a bane when bad drivers or driver calls let parts run in a race condition ahead of other parts in the channel.

Days or thunder reference.. you hit 10000fps.. you basically money shifted your video card.

There’s been a frame cap available in the driver for years now.

I guess people may not know it’s there but.. mind blowing something with pixel graphics could even get the fans to turn on on something like a 5090

I mean fair. It's not about the data on the screen... it's about the cycles being burned to do the work. Bad code or bad hardware you be the judge but you should not be cooking your video cards even with a simple image could even be static being drawn in an specific way at out of control frame rates will destroy something if EVERY piece in the path isn't up to snuff.

This right here might help as well:

I mean, I thought we fixed the powervirus thing back when Furmark was destroying GPUs.

This is what I was thinking of, but yeah, a power limit thing you would think would work too
