: if your Nvidia RTX 4090 graphic card’s 12VHPWR power cable starts smoking and melting, it’s probably because you didn’t plug it in all the way. But the PCI-SIG standards body is now suggesting that Nvidia and partners should have accounted for that.
Members are reminded that PCI-SIG specifications provide necessary technical information for interoperability and do not attempt to address proper design, manufacturing methods, materials, safety testing, safety tolerances or workmanship. When implementing a PCI-SIG specification, Members are responsible for the design, manufacturing, and testing, including safety testing, of their products.
For the prices they're charging for their graphics cards: They could have used high-quality automotive 12V power connectors that only seat when locked into place with clip or lever etc.
What would you expect for a cheap connector trying to cope with several hundred watts 😕
is this a design flaw!?
Shocking.
