The saga of RTX 4090 GPUs burning up continues. Many people thought it was over, but using an adapter left some users with a broken GPU and a denied RMA claim.
Nvidia’s best GPU continues to melt, and even third-party adapters can’t seem to prevent it from happening. CableMod’s adapter, which many had hoped would fix all problems, is now pinned as the cause of some of the instances of melting connectors. Unfortunately, using it voids the warranty on the GPU, as one unlucky user found out from MSI.
Recommended Videos Upon requesting repairs or a refund from MSI, the user was told that the fault lies with the CableMod adapter. MSI blamed “manufacturing and tolerance issues” and denied the claim, leaving the user to fend for themselves, suggesting that they contact CableMod instead. MSI has also said that the issue voided the warranty on the RTX 4090 in question.
When the first cases of the RTX 4090 melting were reported, various tech gurus and Nvidia itself quickly found the root cause of the problem — the 12VHPWR connector. When improperly installed, the connector has a tendency to heat up, and that can damage not just the cable, but also the graphics card itself, as well as the power supply. It turns out that bending the cable is often the main culprit.
