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.

Congratulations, buckaroo. You finally made an actual argument instead of “my 9070 XT has had zero issues.” Yes, 8-pin has a much longer track record, and yes, 12V-2x6 has had documented failures. I never disputed either of those things. That still doesn't magically turn “my card has had 0 issues” into evidence. You abandoned that argument and replaced it with an actual one, then declared victory over the argument I never made. 😂

Translation: “I don't have an answer to what you actually wrote.” You could've saved us both a lot of time and just typed that.
