'Double kill' on the graphics card and power supply sides, RTX 4090 users reported that reducing power consumption still poses the risk of interface burnout

According to news from this site on May 3, a post on the Quasar Zone forum in South Korea once again triggered widespread discussion. Users of the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Suprim X 24G graphics card experienced meltdowns in the 16-pin power connectors on both sides of the graphics card and power supply when the power consumption was limited to 75%, which shows that reducing power consumption does not prevent burnout failures.

Since the Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card was released in October 2022, the 16-pin power supply interface ( Also known as the 12VHPWR connector) has been criticized by users. Although PCI-SIG has introduced revised connector designs, many users still have low confidence in these modifications.

The reason why this post attracted huge user attention is because it shows that even if the user reduces the power consumption, the 16-pin power supply interface will still damage the RTX 4090 graphics card.

This site previously reported that NVIDIA subsequently announced that it would upgrade the power supply interface to the 12V-2×6 standard. Since NVIDIA has produced hundreds of thousands of RTX 4090s in the past two years, the RTX 4090 graphics card is equipped with a 12VHPWR power supply interface. There is still a lot of stock.

The above is the detailed content of 'Double kill' on the graphics card and power supply sides, RTX 4090 users reported that reducing power consumption still poses the risk of interface burnout. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
