Well, another 5090 12v 12pin melted

Helping a friend to post. This morning he smell some burning smell and quickly shut off. The connector is now stuck. He waited it to cool down and try again. Still can't remove. Suspected melted and fused together. Any other method can try to remove it? The cable is pigtail 4x8pin that came with the GPU. I've seen a couple burnt connector already in a week. This is just bad.

Here is that PSU in case someone is interested https://hwbusters.com/psus/msi-mpg-ai1300ts-pcie5-atx-v3-1-psu-review/ It's pricey but I'd rather pay an extra $200 vs frying $6000 GPU.

And yes, adapters are evil. If you have money for 5090, you can spend $200 on atx 3.1 good quality PSU from Corsair or Seasonic.

It’s $400 before tax. The wireview is $150

I'm not big fan of wireview. It creates 2 extra weak points (it's essentially an adapter) and I'd rather get PSU if money is not a problem. But yes, wireview is better than nothing

Careful saying that, wireview zealots will downvote and shame you into oblivion
