A technician from NorthridgeFix has stated that, despite Nvidia’s denial, he continues to repair hundreds of GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards with melted power connectors every month. According to the technician, the problem is not due to user errors, but to design defects in the connectors. Despite Nvidia’s claim that it is a user error, the frequency of repairs and the modifications made by the PCI SIG to the connector suggest that the problem could be inherent to the connector’s defective design.
Despite Nvidia’s claims that problems with melted power connectors on GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards are caused by user errors, a technician from NorthridgeFix continues to face a high number of monthly repairs. The technician argues that the problem is related to the defective design of the connectors and not to users. The frequency of repairs and the modifications made by the PCI SIG to the connector suggest that the problem could be deeper than what Nvidia admits.
