If they are able to sell more cards they should get better prices from Nvidia. So maybe some of both. And nvidia can't produce more chips if their partners can't get rid of them.

How can the AIC partners go down to 999$ if they only have 5% profits from the graphics cards? Something doesn't smell well. Coupon or not, Why sell the cards at a loss? Or maybe Nvidia silently have reduced its profits? Some have to grab the loss. But still, 200$ too expensive. Lower to $799 and the cards would start sell damn well. https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-drops-to-999-for-the-first-time

4 in a row only today. Whats the record? 5, 6 or 7 ? And of course only melted angled adapters. Not the custom or vanilla cables with the tiny 12VHPWR connector. The smoke/melt statistic don't lie. Posted 2 hours ago Lost my Strix 4090 and feeling stressed now posted 1 hour ago Yep, Cablemod 4090 adapter melted. Cyberpunk seems to have done it. Posted 1 hour ago 90 degree adapter melted in my Asus TUF 4090 OC Posted 12 minutes ago Another one

With the increase in mem capacity for DDR5 sticks there is now less need for 4 dimm boards. This is a very good thing for 2 dimms motherboards. They should become more popular forwards.

Could be they will come with a new 2 dimm board for the Raptor refresh.

Nvidia is the guinea pig for the revised 12V-2×6 power connector. Yep, they know much more than what they will tell you. Just let the owners who bought the launch card of 4090 struggle with smoke and fire. I'm sure Nvidia also will add in a revamped connector on the 4090FE. At least, don't use any of the angled adapters out there, LOOL Nvidia Seemingly Uses Revamped Power Connector for RTX 4070 FE tomshardware.com Read also my comment to CabeMod rep🙂 But I'm sure CableMod reps will try to twist it.

What with Colorful?😁 Will this be your next GPU for your SFF build when the prices drop? Even with a White variant. Maybe you'll get the cat also that you can put on top of your tiny small PC box😬 https://videocardz.com/newz/colorful-to-launch-geforce-rtx-4060-meow-gpu-featuring-ninja-cat

#we mostly switched to our own custom made terminals because of lead times but we need to confirm which products are affected# Hmmm.... We mostly switched and our own custom terminals... Yep, that may explain why so many CM Adapters frying the 4090 GPU power connectors the last couple of months.

Not white but if you can find the new Corsair HX1500i ATX 3.0 PSU at a good price then you have a good unit. You may also have chance to find the older 2021 version of HX1500i (my son have one) but without the ATX 3.0 specs. The good thing... You'll avoid have the small flimsy 12VHPWR connector on the PSU side even if the PSU is speced with ATX 3.0 specs. See my older post above. Remember the new modern ATX 3.0 - 1000W PSUs have almost none of the 8 pin connectors. So avoid them. They are bad Jokes. Galax have a new White 1300W ATX3.0 PSU with dual 12VHPWR connectors. But I prefer 8 pins on the PSU side of the 12VHPWR cable. You get the best from both worlds(loads of 8 pins for powering both 4090 and older gen cards). Can't beat that. I needed dual PSU setup to fulfill my needs. Imagine, if I bought the new modern who usually offer minimum of 8 pins connectors than the older PSUs... I would be damn angry. New is newer. Not better.

Chispy often advertice his gear several places on the web. Probably gone within short time.... Item number 4. , Asus Tuf OC RTX 3090 *** Pending Payment *** For all my US friends : Enjoy your day. EVGA want 200$ for their brand new ATX 3.0 1000W PSU with a small measly 3 years warranty. Why buy EVGA nowadays when you get better deals from other brands? EVGA have changeded course and prepare for a fast death. What an end/destiny for a well known and loved brand. The end of graphics cards era was just the beginning on the end of EVGA. Montech Titan Gold 1200W - 1200W ATX 3.0 PSU for same amount money and 10 years warranty.

And all with CM angled adapters. Mine fried...

Not a single user post burned up vanilla cables in Nvidia reddit or PC build threads. And we know custom cables is done by many brands, OEMs and PSU manufacturers (me etc use BeQuiets own cables). Not even in PSU manufacuturers forum you find them. Thats very odd. Not normal if we can see all the adapters poping up melted from CM. Maybe 2 mill cards is sold from 4000 series the last 8 months. The amount adapers sold by CM is a drop in the ocean but they flood in as melted adapters. None of CableMods custom cables is in the Death statistic. Only their adapters. Dang. The users nickname match the CM adapters and GPU's sad end of life, LOOL Not fun with hard-tubing when this happens. Yep, I prefer softubing. Have always done. I would be back with another GPU from my Gpu collection within minutes. Fancy is pretty but not always very smart. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1675543372248006656 He should probably have checked the adaper properly already last week. Edit.

Something is weird. Remember all the problems I had with no access to the forum outside use an VPM and the phones own internet.... My IPS vendor couldn't find anything wrong with mu main network/broadband. Hence they never made changes as they said to me. Suddenly I can use the forum the ordianry way. On all phones and pc's. Hmmm Yep, I know. But can I remove older pics so I can start post new pictures? But that will destroy some of the older posts I have made. I'm not for the free file image sharing sites. Pictures will disappear with time on all forums. And double work if you want post on the forum. Remember that those 80,000 figures of 90/180 degree CM adapters are distributed for the whole range of 4000 series cards. Aka millions sold cards the last 8 months. People want them for the looks, better cable management + some wnat them beacuse they have very small PC boxes for the new bigger modern graphics cards (The cable bend factor). Then you have all the CM adapters that sit in the shelves in the different webstores that sell CableMod products. Amount sold adapters doesn't reflect that there is pushed out 80.000 adapters. Maybe 60% of them is in the GPU owners hands. The failure rate is probably a lot higher than what we have been told. I stand with what I say about the adapters. They should be re-called. Every single of them. Use proper 12VHPWR cables from the PSU manufacturer or in worst case the Nvidia pigtail. I expect also the CM 12VHPWR cables is okish to use. You can't fix flawed engineering mistakes as the minfit power connector. Hence if you absolutely need to make a custom variant of it then make as small changes as you can. CableMod custom 12VHPWR quality..... Gave up on the 180 12v And this is also NICE! I expected this also would happen. "completely understand your frustration. Unfortunately, our warranty terms do state the warranty only applies if purchased newly manufactured on the date of purchase. If this was purchased from Ebay we do not sell directly to this eShop so it would be second hand. And guess who sold him the card?😆 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- (PCI-SIG with Intel should take all the blame and offer people a free new OEM cable when the next gen Nvidia hit the streets). Yet, another reason not to jump on new ATX 3.0 PSUs. They will be outdated with new ATX version. And what is better than 2x8-pin to 12v micro-fit cable? New is new. Not better. From 4:25

I don't think so.... PSU brands own forums isn't filled up with burned up connectors as with the CM adapters. Even CableMod said the failure rate on their custom vanilla 12VHPWR cables was almost none. Aka totally opposite to the angled adapters disaster. Either a massive QC problems with the adapters or they are made wrong. Trash is still trash bro Fox. But add more failur points to the same fragile and thiny 12VHPWR connector is bad. Or just plain stupid. I won't touch any of their angled adapters. And with the HOF you have two connectors aka less chance for the smoke and fire... I still don't want them. And the best part. With a big box you shouldn't be afraid for bendgate. I rather sit still in my plaza watching the failure rate go on and go on. What is a day without the usual Adapter smoke and I can enjoy my good smokin cigars, LOOL Edit. I get 1 file would exceed the total allowed size of 5.338kB, and have to drop post pict the last couple of days. Have I used up the limited places for pict/images on the forum? I have to take pict from my OC.net post to be able to post pict directly. I don't bother with pict sharing sites. The pict tend to disappear after a while. This is from an thread I follow on Igorslab. He have been very quiet the last 5 weeks about this problem. Maybe because Igorslab really haven't found the real problem. And Igor Wallosek support CableMod so....

All you gain with the slight redesign is that the 12V-2x6 connector will be backwards compatible with12VHPWR connectors. + a few less cases with burned up graphics cards. But this don't eliminate the major problem. This is almost as put "lipstick on a pig". Its still a pig. Pig or plug, does it matter, HaHa 16-Pin Power Connector Gets A Much-Needed Revision, Meet The New 12V-2x6 Connector Too expensive and too much work make a brand new connector (Most of PSU manufacturers have already done the design and launched their new shiny overpriced ATX 3.0 PSUs). You like bad jokes bro @Mr. Fox?🤔

Not more to say.... And probably not bro @Mr. Foxfirst choice either. And here is another Pc build you also should avoid at all costs.....

Same old 13900K. Only God knows. But I have only seen 1 or two orginal 12VHPWR cables burn up the last 5 weeks. My best guess... CableMod will never ever release the real melting numbers... So maybe 2 vs 60++++(CM adapters as the latter). Finally some smart engineers. Sligh redesigned PSU compatible with ATX3.0 and PCIe5.0 standards.... But with real 8pins connectors on the PSU side of the 12VHPWR cable. So there is still hope in humanity bro @Mr. Fox But Corsair should have offered two of the 12VHPWR cables and not only one. HX1500i isn't exactly a cheapo made products. It comes with 10 years warranty. Put in a second 12VHPWR cable, please.

Google up their support page. I'm sure you find something there. Now its MSI turn to say no to 3rd party adapters/cables as offered by CableMod. And I expect the graphics cards serial-nr is registered in their database after your first try to RMA. In short you will be banned from RMA your cards as long nvidia don't come up and force their AIC partners to accept fix the smoked/burned cards. Yep, your card will loose some value in the second hand market. Nice. I wouldn't buy a 1.5 years old car without any warranty. But that's me. Maybe other thinks different. CableMod adapter melted RTX 4090. MSI not accepting RMA. What next? And CableMod will never ever bother with your card again if you need send in you grapics cards that fail out in other tasks than burning up with their adapters 🙂 In short.... Their warranty can be useless. But they got your money for the failed angled 12VHPWR adaper. I hate bad deals.
