    NorthRidgeFix did an amazing job fixing my Asus ROG Strix White 4090 that melted due to the Cable Mod adapter. It is working perfectly and Cable Mod covered everything. Yes I didn't have my card for a month but they gave me the option to have my card fixed or buy another one if I could find it. I chose to have it fixed due to the rarity of these cards. Thank you NorthRidgeFix!!!

I went with a Galax 4070, the best GPU I could find with an old style PCIe power connecter, I wouldn't have needed a 4080/90, and I haven't heard of any 4070s drawing enough wattage to melt the HP connecter, but just didn't want to take the chance.

    the 3090ti have the same power budget yet nothing happen to them. Stop putting these card in a SFF build pulling and bending the power cable to the extreme to fit in and you will be fine. The SFF popularity boom in the past year is the culprit. The reason why cablemod got caught in all of this is people buying their cable so they can bend and fit their card in the itx form case.

    The spec of the connector has been redesigned because of the 40 series issues, it's now called 12V-2X6 rather than 12VHPWR. The sensing pins are 0.1mm shorter and the conducting terminals are 0.15mm longer. It is backwards compatible too, so you can get the new spec cables and use them on a 40XX card.

    I don't own this kind of device but if I did I'd add an "engineered' aluminum heat dissipater and dedicate a fan to blow on it at all times. I'd also put a temperature probe on it to keep it in check on the amount of heat being raised. Seems that companies WANT your device to fail "after warranty" so you have to buy a new one. This seems to be an ongoing problem. So, wake up and do your own "blueprinting" on your devices. AND, keep it clean. In fact, if you're as good at electronics soldering as Mr. A, you could remove the mod from the board and run a cable for the board to the mod and keep it on the outside where you can make a "cooling box" for it using the aluminum heat dissipater and separate cooling fan. That way, if anything disastrous happens, you're board is safe from fire. You could also add on a temperature probe with an alarm set to just under the melting point. For that matter, a temperature cut off switch thermally set. Isn't it better to FIX the problem yourself with maybe help from someone with better soldering skills than yours maybe? I see this as a very simple solution and even wonder why no one has come up with a device as I described for sale to make the unit much better and safer.

They required the a 1500W PSU to power them 4 of them, there was 8 units (cubes) a in package. They would raw so much power that either the connector as the PSU or at the miner would melt. The resolution was to use thicker wire, from 18 gage to 16 gage I think, it was a such a long time ago I don't remember thickness but it resolved the issue.

    I am quality engineer for long time. It is a good case to dig out root cause then find out long term solution. If Northridge change the connector can fix the problem and customer never come back for one more repair. I would think it is process related issue. Flux contamination then user find the burn issue after use for some certain long time. Data analysis is key to improvement quality. Most of my project I always suggest customer select thermal plastic and I can use paste in hole process to prevent flux type issue. If manufacturer use wave machine I always ask them put on a cover to block the spray flux onto pins.

    Like i said, the more power you push through material the more it heats, the issue here is, there's not enough material to carry all that power. Second, every engineer with his head on the shoulder knows, you have to account for loss and conectors are a loss source, you lose contact area, as a result it acts as if you push 40-50amp into a 1mm wire , it will heat and burn.(exageration intended)

    They need to re-engineer this connector standard to be a tad larger per pin, and with two more pins. and to have more than one clip holding it in. Also the info pins need to be data enabled, spi or c2 or some such so not only can the max power output be available, continuous and peek power can be communicated, and such other data as needed and/or desired. Main power connector to the board should also have a data channel, one that can be used for all the stats and current conditions.

    I have a question, what happens if the power cable is soldered directly onto the board pins?, removing the connector first. I know that the possibility of exchange would be lost, but the connector wouldn't melt anymore, right?

    I think the issue is CableMod had bad sourcing, and nVidia gave bad specs to the public about the connector. CableMod should have changed supply lines to go well beyond specs the second there were signs that the specs were insufficient. You can get various connectors that are easily twice the ratings of your standard connectors of the type. They should have gotten those. If you really want to go above and beyond you can use a board mounted connector and hard-solder everything. This provides even higher maximum specs. This also allows you to add a heat fuse and other power protection circuitry.

    I have a 80 series card and cable mod cables.. direct psu to gpu no 90 Degree adaptor or whatnot... i know the 80s havent seen the issues the 90s have... they dont draw as much power but i did have issues with my 3x 8pin to 12vhpwr cable when i built my current computer it kept crashing till i swapped the oem cables in... they were great about it.. sent me out a newer version of the cable within a week and has been fine. Ive been using cablemod cables for like 10 years or more now and i would NEVER hesitate to use their products.. they stand by them first of all.. great cust service.. and i agree 100% with you.. its not their fault the 12vhpwer connector is a steaming pile of crap.

    Its clearly a design flaw. Honestly i can't understand why they had so big power connectors before and so tiny ones now, even if the card is pulling more energy than before. Some cards had 2 big 8-pins adapters and now they squeezed 4 into just 1 connector. This is a recipe to problem. This is basic electric science, you don't throw so much energy flowing trough a so small adapter, even if everything is right, it would still fail in some cases, cause there's no tolerance for energy to flow trough the connector.

The power input is too great for the thickness of the pins. The world is lucky to have you to fix all those cards with better than factory results

    Connector is fine, people just cannot plug it properly as these days everyone is doing their own computers. Otherwise they would just RMA card, none of these 4090s is older than 2 years and many of them have extended warranties 3 or 4 years. Not RMA card and send it to repair shop = card damaged by owner or transportation.

    What do you think about the Cablemods direct cables? these ones specifically - CableMod RT-Series Pro ModMesh Black Sleeved Cable, 600mm, 16-Pin 12VHPWR to 3x 8-Pin PCIe, for ASUS/Seasonic PSUs ? I've just brought a 4090 FE And put it straight under water and so far it seems to be running as cool as anything even in gaming, no issues with hotspot or memory temps either and with that cable it's allowing me to run up to 133% power limit which allows up to 600W instead of 450W whereas the official Nvidia cable needed all 4 4 pin cables which I didn't have at the time so was restricted to 450w max. I'm keeping check of the 12VHPR cable end for heat, i've got a thermal camera I can use if needed too.

    It works well enough, I have it, I bought the evga variant with 4*8 pins connector, no issues, I also had 90 degree connector v1.0 and the the v1.1 180 degree, they both worked fine, I had to destroy the 1.0 to get a refund, I don't use the 1.1. I just connect the cable straight to the card. Just make sure you connect your cable fully, if you cable manage make sure you don't pull out the connector and don't bend it too much, many people can't follow this simple guidelines, and the connector is not robust as the old 8pin that could accommodate these mistakes.

    @@eliadbu Thanks for the info, I'm usually pretty good with managing the cables even though it looks like a rats nest inside my PC as it's literally fully kitted out 7000X with all Corsair fans, rads etc inside of it! I've ran my 12VHPWR cables directly underneath and they come out by the back 4 fans on the side panel side as i've got my reservoir in that area too so it works quite well with the 60cm cable without putting too much strain on the GPU end which I always make sure is plugged in until I can hear and feel it click in to place as well as make sure visually.
