It is no longer news that the 12V-2x6 power supply interface is burned. Manufacturers from graphics cards to power supplies have also worked hard to strive for safety, but it still seems difficult to fully guarantee it. One unlucky player even burned it twice in a row! Reddit forum user "Deja" is so unlucky.In July, an RTX 5090 burned out. Fortunately, the after-sales service provided a free replacement, but unexpectedly, the new card burned out again, and both times it was the power supply interface that was to blame.
Deja said that he is tired and is planning to downgrade to RTX 5080 to see if he can get some refunds. His work will definitely be affected to some extent, but there is nothing he can do about it.
He said that he had decompressed the graphics card, I didn’t expect it to still burn. I don’t know if it’s just bad luck or something else.
However, Deja did not disclose the brand and model of his RTX 5090, nor did he release any photos. Naturally, he did not want netizens to be too specific about the brand.
Another netizen "Jamyjet" also reported a burnt incident of the RTX 5090 power supply interface, which is MSI's RTX 5090 GAMING TRIO.
According to the post,He encountered high-load restarts many times during normal use. He tried various methods, including changing the power supply, but still kept restarting with a black screen. It was not until he unplugged the graphics card power cord that he saw that many pins had been burned.
This made him very frustrated, and he had to wait at least 4 weeks for a replacement after-sales service. He had to buy a new card at the same time due to work needs.
The most difficult thing to understand about this matter is thatHe clearly used the new version of MSI's official power cord and connector. The pin part was specially made yellow to remind you that it can only be fully inserted and the yellow color cannot be seen, so as to ensure that it is plugged in tightly.
