Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com October 27 news, according to foreign media Igor's Lab news, Nvidia and its graphics card partners are looking for a solution to the GeForce RTX 4090 16pin power connector problem.

Not long ago, foreign media reported a case of burning and melting of the 16pin connector of the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. According to the latest news from Igor's Lab, Nvidia informed all partners this morning that damaged graphics cards need to be sent directly to the headquarters for fault analysis.

With regard to this problem, it is said that incorrect connection of 16pin cables can lead to large amounts of heat, which can lead to connector burning or melting. Some people think that the 16pin power connector that comes with the video card may have a security risk.

CTOnews.com learned that the RTX 4090 graphics card uses the 16pin power interface shown above, and the 16pin power connector is officially provided, and some new ATX 3.0 power supplies also come with 16pin power connectors. The theoretical power supply capacity of the latest 16pin power supply interface has reached 600W, which is greatly improved compared with the traditional 8pin interface.

Nvidia is expected to provide an official explanation and solution for the damage to the RTX 4090 16pin power supply interface / connector in the near future.
