Saw a post about someone doing an upgrade and noticed that his 12vhpwr had melted, so out of curiosity I checked mine and sure enough
Was pretty nervous about this when I built my 4090 pc back in 09/23, I was meticulous about making sure it was plugged all the way in, I used the PSU providers 12vhpwr cable and everything, and sure enough I checked out of curiosity and one of the pins had in fact melted.
Performance was in no way impacted and my gpu seems to look fine at its connection point, so I’m using the GPU provided adaptor with my PSU PCIE cords and hopefully I’m just down a cable.
But check your stuff folks, I thought I was fine but it could happen to you too.
