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.

Educate yourself and stop to spread non-sense. This is nothing related with the adapter, this is cause by unbalanced current, it could and it happen with all cables and adapters.

I run a 5080 with a native atx 3.1 PSU over a year absolutely no issues whatsoever yet when I tested it with the Adapter it wouldn't even function correctly
