Recently, NVIDIA held an Editor's Day event in South Korea to introduce the RTX50 series and accepted media QA. Among them, someone asked about the burnt power supply interface of the RTX4090. The new interface used at that time was the first generation 12VHPWR. Due to design flaws, once the insertion was not tight, the wire was bent, impurities were mixed in, etc., it was easy to burn out, which troubled many players.
NVIDIA has never publicly responded to this, but this time, NVIDIA said,In response to this situation, some changes were made to the power supply interface (12V-2x6). But two years later, I believe the problem has been completely solved.
NVIDIA emphasized that it does not expect similar problems to reoccur on the RTX50 series.
The power consumption of the entire card of RTX5090/5090D has been increased to 575W.The public version deliberately tilts the 16-frame power supply interface for safety., to avoid wire bending, but the non-public version still has a vertical design, which looks very confident.
Many manufacturers have also made special designs. For example, there is an extra piece of yellow on the end of the thread so that it cannot be seen when it is fully inserted. An indicator light is installed next to the interface to remind you of the insertion status, so I still remind everyone to be careful.
