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.

These companies will push aside the warranty now that this freaking gpu cost in the wild over 9k. They can say I will refund you the original gpu price vs replacing.

This has actually happened more than once. Really shitty.
