I’ve been hearing a lot about the recent melting issues with the 5090 GPU. Given what’s happening, should we only be using the adapters that come with it, or is it better to stick to a native 12-pin connector from the power supply? What do you all think?
1 Answer
It’s definitely safer to use the native connector from your power supply if you have it. Fewer connections mean less chance for problems. Just make sure you plug it in fully, and double-check that there’s no tension on the cable after your cable management.
