Question How has your experience been with 12-pin power cable adapter for Nvidia 4000's cards (4080 and 4090) ?

[test_123]

After hearing about some 4090's catching fire, I swore off Nvidia current generation of video cards. However, I saw the 7900 benchmarks and was not impressed. Are the adapters easy to install correctly? Are there higher quality after market versions (that are less likely to catch fire😉😉)? What has your experience been? Thank you.

I didn't hear anything about 4090 catching fire. Hmmmm...

Yup! Nvidia's response was the user installed the cable incorrectly. The adapter was bending too much?!? It's a cable; it's suppose to bend!
