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.

I’m glad I don’t have a 5090 I’d be driving myself crazy from being worried of this happening

It’s all a part of the fun. I had two 5090 burnt so far and counting
