[CRITICAL] Modder 'fixes' melting RTX 5090 power connectors with custom distributor [NVDA] — tomshardware.com, 2026-10-04T14:50:00.000Z

A community modder has created a custom power connector distributor to address overheating 12VHPWR connectors on NVIDIA's RTX 5090 GPU, highlighting a recurring hardware reliability concern. The issue with melting connectors on high-end NVIDIA GPUs is a known problem that could raise questions about product quality and consumer confidence. While a community workaround exists, the underlying connector reliability issue remains a reputational risk for NVIDIA.
