Netizens reported that the 12VHPWR interface caused the melting on the power supply side.

CTOnews.com June 16 news, the melting problem of the 12VHPWR interface has been exposed many times, but previously mainly occurred on power-intensive graphics cards such as the RTX 4090. According to the feedback of Reddit netizens, recently Be Quiet! The brand Dark Power 13 1000W power interface also melted down.

CTOnews.com Note: Be Quiet! The brand Dark Power 13 1000W power supply natively supports 16-pin cable, and users can directly power graphics cards such as RTX 4090.

According to the exposed picture, the four "sense" pins under the interface have been completely melted and are almost unrecognizable. The 16-pin power connector installed inside the PSU showed similar damage, revealing molten plastic on the bottom port row.

The melting problem of the 12VHPWR interface reported in the past is mainly concentrated on this side of the graphics card, and the power supply is rarely mentioned in the report. From a technical point of view, the GPU connector and the power connector are the same, so it is possible for both ends to have the same melting problem.
