This is disgusting. I wonder how many run their 4090/5090 with such out of specs load balancing. +12A on one pin while an another one barely reach 2A under full load condition. Just reinsert the connector several times and you get completly different results depending on your luck. You can't blame the users for melting their cards with such idiotic power design. Weird Nvidia never found out this under their testing and validation. Did they test only one card and one cavble?🤔 Without monitoring the different power pins you will never ever see how bad it is. https://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/grafikkarten/67358-asus-rog-astral-geforce-rtx-5090-oc-im-test.html Not even weak low powered AMD cards ain't safe....

If you absolutely want 5080 why not wait for the Super cards? I expect the 5080 will drop in price once the refresh is out. And with an 5090 at MSRP (if you can find one at lowest price) will probably keep it's prices a long time, same as for 4090's. Some even got more for their 2 years old used 4090's than they paid. Won't happen with xx80 cards.

Remember newer is always better. Windows bug causes Task Manager to gobble up resources A bug in the latest update for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 (KB5067036) means that the Task Manager can chew up a large portion of primary memory after a while, reports Windows Latest

The pressure was too hard to swallow for AMD. But should we trust AMD? By market needs.... Nice. AMD Backtracks, Says It Will Continue Game Optimizations And Features Support For RDNA 1 And RDNA 2 GPUs New features, bug fixes and game optimizations will continue to be delivered as required by market needs in the maintenance mode branch, - AMD Rumors but Nvidia get higher profits from AI GPU's. What with 6090 ? Same pathern? We may go back to xx80Ti models due China. And damn expensive PRO cards for those that want better than xx80TI tier performance. NVIDIA will retire the RTX 5090 to prioritize AI GPUs and will leave the upcoming RTX 5080 SUPER as its most powerful gaming model. The RTX 5090 is entering its final stage of life ... Because production lines for AI GPUs need to be prioritized.

It seems F. Azor and his team-mates prefer that you scrap your slight older fully functioning Radeon cards long before they become useless for gaming. Yet another reason to avoid AMD as the plague it is. This is disgusting. Nvidia is bad but this is awful treatments of their valuable and loyal customers. Me supporting AMD with my hard earned money? Guess, bro @Mr. Fox What with you?🤐 @Raiderman got love our old friend F. Azor. He fits vere he belong now. AMD drivers age as fine wine, LOL AMD confirms focus shifts to RDNA3 and RDNA4, RX 6000 and RX 5000 lose day 1 game optimizations RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 graphics cards will continue to receive driver updates for critical security and bug fixes. To focus on optimizing and delivering new and improved technologies for the latest GPUs, AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 is placing Radeon RX 5000 and RX 6000 series graphics cards (RDNA 1 and RDNA 2) into maintenance mode. Future driver updates with targeted game optimizations will focus on RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 GPUs. -AMD See the whole video. LOL....... Looks like my nephew's 8GB 3070 is more future-proof than 16GB 6800/6800XT/6900XT

GeForce RTX 5090 prices rise again as custom models exceed €2,600 ($3000+). xx90 cards ages as fine wine. Just look at 4090's 🙂 It’s that time of year when we look at the latest price cuts for top-tier graphics cards. Most RTX 50 models and even AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 series have seen price drops, except for the RX 9070 XT. Meanwhile, demand for the RTX 5090 is rising again, and retailers are reacting as quickly as gas stations after a spike in oil prices. I expect Asus don't follow the trend and start reach new highs with their cards. They are already one of the most expensive in the market. But this is probably too much to ask for🙄

The bigger you are, the harder you fall. Inflated values due to AI business (madness) will destroy someone's wealth/retirement savings. Nvidia is the recipe for a real bubble. No trees grow to the sky. NVIDIA becomes the first company in history to be worth $5 trillion NVIDIA's value is now greater than the GDP of every country on Earth, excluding the United States and China, as it becomes the first $5 trillion company, and it was only three months ago that it was worth $4 trillion. And AI is perfect for tasks like this. Aka useless. @Mr. Fox Nvidia screw users, LOL A deepfake Jensen Huang outperformed Nvidia's real GTC keynote on YouTube – with five times the viewers Promoting a crypto scam, of course A YouTube creator accuses Microsoft of being behind the action and rants about Google’s use of AI. Amazon plans to lay off up to 30,000 corporate employees as AI gains more prominence due to its productivity Reuters exclusively revealed last night that Amazon announced a significant new restructuring of its corporate workforce to its employees. Yup, you can trust AI...... AI mistakes a bag of Doritos for a gun, calls the cops According to a local news report from WBAL-TV 11 News, an "artificial intelligence detector" called the cops on a student at a Baltimore County school for mistaking a bag of Doritos for a gun. Apparently, the student was outside his high school, eating some Doritos and chatting to friends. Taki Allen, told reporters that "eight cop cars" pulled up with officers pointing their guns at him, asking him to get on the ground, on the suspicion that he was carrying a firearm. "They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back, and cuffed me," Allen said. "Then, they searched me and they figured out I had nothing."

I'm not worried about the sense wires if they are crimped/mounted correctly to the tiny trash connector. This haven't been a problem with none of the 12VHPWR adapters from the GPU AIB or cables from PSU manufacturers. I would be more worried if I bought the adapters/cables from not known manufacturer. The main problem is the crappy power connector... Not the cables used. The whole connector is flawed and new "lipstick on a pig" aka implement stealthSense features doesn't change a bit. It's still a pig🙂 What the heck....

Second time within two days. Welcome to AI mod team. AI everywhere now. And this useless tech make the life harder for everyone. This is just the beginning. Look at this beauty... A marvel of the modern AI world we live in. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/fake-nvidia-gtc-stream-hosting-jensen-huang-deepfake-crypto-scam-garners-100-000-youtube-viewers-video-was-even-promoted-above-nvidias-real-event

Hmmm. The StealthSense feature was made only because the two thin sense wires on all CableMod 12VHPWR cables went lose from the mini connector and hence many users that bought cables from them run into blackscreen/no working Gpu. The orginal adapers coming in the GPU package and 12VHPWR cables from PSU manufacturers didn't suffer from this. So a huge load of RMA also for their 12VHPWR cables. Not a quality sign for their products as I see it. Just a band aid fix for their bad QC and quality problems. And I know.... Because I was the first one to see their products in development. The first rough drawings of their StealthSense feature. Long before anyone. This was brought up in PM with me from CM before they found out to ban me from their Reddit forum. Aka they tried to silence me for telling the truth about their trash/bad quality products.

The CableMod moment for Cooler Master. What do those two companies have common? They both have the abbreviation CM, and both tried to reinvent the wheel. Do they also use same engineers and use same factory for their flawed products? Cooler Master tries to save its image after admitting serious defects in the 12V-2x6 90º connector, recommending its manipulation.

YouTube has become a huge mess. And worse it will become. Greed and stupidity paired with AI is an awful combo bro @Mr. Fox

LOL Yet another failure.... Intel will prioritize Artificial Intelligence, leaving its CPUs and GPUs for PCs and laptops in the background. Intel is at a crossroads. After two years in the red, the company is returning to profit, as we saw this morning, thanks to three external pillars: NVIDIA, SoftBank, and the United States government. However, Intel has acknowledged that it doesn't have enough chips and that its immediate priority will not be consumer products, i.e., PCs and laptops, but AI, which is where its CPUs and GPUs will be targeted. “We expect CCG, our consumer chip business, to decline slightly, while DCAI, our server chips, will grow strongly because we will prioritize server capacity over entry-level processors ,” the executive explained. Also AMD milk hard on the ongoing AI bubble... Add 16GB vram and you get double the price of 9070XT consumer cards. Radeon AI Pro R9700 with 32 GB available next week AMD announces: The Radeon AI Pro 9700 will be available starting October 27th at a price of $1,299.

Yep, spot on. QC means you also should test the products you have created. I'm sure some will use it after they bought it🙄 Warning: Cooler Master misleads customers in the official power supply support to self-destruct their 12V 2×6 connector Summary and conclusion The sobering conclusion after all these tests is clear: Cooler Master could never have tested this cable in its current form under real-world conditions. No manufacturer who had even once attempted to insert this connector into a current high-end GPU like an RTX 5090 Suprim, a 4090 Strix, or similar cards would have been able to avoid this design without noticing the massive design flaw. Yup. People are their worst enemy. Critical thinking is completely absent. Btw. Me pay for almost nothing? Nope.
