Even MSI’s special yellow power plug couldn’t stop this Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 cable from melting

A new yellow and black MSI 12VHPWR cable designed to prevent it from being incorrectly inserted appears to have burned out in pictures.

Again, coloring isn’t going to save a fundamentally flawed standard.

    Definitly feels like we need to increase the voltage. Stepdown transformers are extremely efficient, and could be card side.

      So now your GPU is going to have a separate power cable from the wall? Or are we going to have GPUs with a PC attached?

        not sure what you mean.

        The power supply would just provide an additional voltage, they currently provide 3.3V, 5V and 12V, they could also provide 48v too.

          I’m joking. If we’re going to add new power cables and a PSU to the card itself, it feels like the rest of the PC becomes an accessory to the GPU.
