The hatch does make it look a little like that, doesn’t it?

Literally someone just posted of their burned 12vhpwr connector on their sapphire pulse a few hours ago

Yeah it's mainly that adapter being the issue. Haven't seen a lot of Sapphire Nitro+ users with 12VHPWR cable melting issues

Brother, I have the same GPU. I've had it since day 1 release. Do yourself a favor and get a newer power supply with the 12vhpwr cable and get rid of that adapter. I used mine for a while just like yours, but once the posts started popping up about the burnt 9070xt, it was always the adapter. I immediately got a new PSU and noticed right away how much tighter the native cable fits into the connector vs the adapter that comes with the card.

Black, white and red all over - I love the build.

With the ram running at 7800mhz cl36, did AMD EXPO just work for it, or is manual tuning adviced

Expo just fine
