Modders at Teclab have created the world's first NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card that uses 8-pin power connectors instead of the fragile 16-pin design. 16-Pin Connectors Continue To Melt Expensive GPUs, But Teclab Finds A Way To Mod NVIDIA's RTX 5090 With 8-Pin Connectors Reports of 16-pin connectors melting away NVIDIA's RTX 50 and RTX 40 graphics cards continue to mount. The same connector has also damaged various AMD RX 9000 GPUs that utilize it, and the problem is more than a high-power draw issue since even lower-wattage cards are affected by it. Although NVIDIA and its partners, especially PCI-SIG, […]
