der8auer got the original 5090 card from the reddit melting cable post, then demonstrated that two of the six 12V power connector cables are having 20ish amps running through them and overheating, while the other 4 cables are not.

      der8auer has both the redditors device, and his own FE where he replicates the issues. Thats two of these very rare devices displaying the same 150C problem.

        It’s coincidence until the result set includes more than one influencer’s at-home testing.

          Not impossible that it is a coincidence but the probability that it is just fell way lower.

          If the probability that it a 5090 experiences this issue is 1%, then the probaility that both devices fail is 0.01%. Not impossible, but very unlikely.
