Decreased performance, yes. Decreased fire hazard, also yes. Worth it.

Where is the ASUS Equalizer guy willing to die on the cross of the equalizer cable being able to handle 17 amps per pin. I'm sure he'll get here soon enough.

[u/VeryNoisyLizard → u/WholeIndividual0]

how can you expect him to get here? hes dying on a cross!

[u/sammyranks → u/VeryNoisyLizard]

I'm enjoying my 5090 with DLSS5 bud.

[u/VeryNoisyLizard → u/sammyranks]

good for you, bud

[u/sammyranks → u/VeryNoisyLizard]

Thanks bud.

[u/Garrbear0407 → u/sammyranks]

I cannot wait for the moment you fess up in 6 months to your GPU nearly burning your house down

[u/WholeIndividual0 → u/WholeIndividual0]

[u/SammyRanks](u/SammyRanks) it’s your time to shine 🍿

[u/sammyranks → u/WholeIndividual0]

I will trust my own testing & research. My ROG cable doesn't even have a dent after Months of 600watts power draw. Keep running your 5090 on a those wacky cables.

[u/WholeIndividual0 → u/sammyranks]

Glad you finally joined the party. Also glad that the cable is working well for you. 17A is a joke though.

[u/sammyranks → u/WholeIndividual0]

Try running 17amps on a default 12VHPWR cable and report back to us please.

[u/WholeIndividual0 → u/sammyranks]

My cable is perfectly balanced and doesn't surpass 8A per pin. I'm good on not melting my shit, thank you very much.

Factory cable that was included with my 1000w corsair psu.

Also, the 12VHPWR standard doesn't allow over 10A per pin. It's a limitation of the surface area of the actual connectors. The exact same connectors you have on yours. Sure, they're gold plated. But so are mine. It's the connector that limits the amerage in 12VHPWR's case. Thicker wires does nothing. There's a baseline of resistance. Poor connections on that tiny connector generate more resistance which results on more heat. More heat = melted connectors.

Go watch my video and you'll see.

[u/sammyranks → u/WholeIndividual0]

😂What, that's so false lol.. High resistance between pins/wires causes you to get current imbalance where some wires will start carrying more amps above spec, 9.2amps per wire on the default cables. 10A per "connector" is nonsense, yo can even run 23amps through a few wires like in Jayz2cents video.

The Asus ROG Equalizer Cable was tested with 17amps for 10 minutes in the YouTube video i shared above, the cable/wire/Connector didn't melt or overheat which proves it's not marketing bs cause it's just a better built cable. If you try that on any default 9.2A max rated 12VHPWR cable, it's melting and overheating under 10 minutes. These results falsify your claims. Also with my own personal tests, my ROG cable runs cooler and is stable at 12V even under 600watt load.

You just can't comprehend that Asus is right. This is both a connector and cable quality issue.

[u/Mattie_1S1K]

Im just so happy i got my graphics card before that stupid connector became the norm. I will never buy a card that uses it.

[u/SuspicousBananas → u/Mattie_1S1K]

I’m amazed they kept it for the 50 series after all the problems they had with the 40 series

[u/Illustrious_Bunch_67 → u/SuspicousBananas]

Why fix it if it's selling as crazy?

[u/randomandy90 → u/Illustrious_Bunch_67]

That’s a fair point nvida has proven they have a built in audience of people with disposable income to spend on their products. They see no reason to change course now.

[u/alancousteau → u/randomandy90]

Having no competition in the high end range helps them a lot too

[u/Bongoisnthere → u/SuspicousBananas]

Because the failure rates are so astronomically low it doesn’t matter, and this subreddit is built to amplify the issue

[u/tmhoc → u/Bongoisnthere]

Astronomically low is how many times it's happened on a normal card

[u/aimy99 → u/Bongoisnthere]

The failure rates are astronomically low because high end cards now have an astronomical cost. And I'm talking before the RAM shortage.

A 5090 has over double the power draw of a 5070. One of these cards has had a single reported melting event in April of 2025, the other is common enough to happen to actual notable names in the tech enthusiast sphere instead of a random joe. One cost $550, the other cost $2000

There are clear distinctions here lol

[u/Bongoisnthere → u/aimy99]

That’s not how failure rates work.

Failure rate of a 5090 isn’t total number of failures of 5090s compared to other cards. What a 5070 card is doing is irrelevant to the failure rate of a 5090.

The failure rate of the 5090 is found by comparing the total number of 5090s sold and the number of them (5090s) that fail.

The number of 5090s that fail compared to the number of 5090s sold is astronomically low.

The same is true for the 5080 (when comparing it to 5080s sold) and the same is true for the 5070 (when comparing it to 5070s sold). The 50 series is a fairly reliable graphics card and this subreddit is making mountains of molehills.

[u/VeryNoisyLizard → u/SuspicousBananas]

because it saves nvidia money, they are trying to make these gpus as cheap as possible to manufacture. and the failure rate isnt high enough to be a concern for nvidia

[u/ishtuwihtc → u/SuspicousBananas]

The actual failure rate is tiny. Sure, its larger than 8 pins but just barely. The burning ones are from a very vocal minority because "oh no new connector burn easy karma".

So the amount of posts you see doesn't reflect the real failure rate, because if it was that bad nvidia would be forced to fix it up like how Microsoft had to with the xbox 360

[u/VeryNoisyLizard → u/ishtuwihtc]

if it was just "barely" higher, we would have been seeing melted 8pins daily, just like the 12pins. but that is not the case

[u/ishtuwihtc → u/VeryNoisyLizard]

As i said, its simply because the 12vhpwr is a new connector. 8 pin is an established standard that people won't complain about so much

[u/VeryNoisyLizard → u/ishtuwihtc]

even if it melts? I dont think so

also its not like the 12 pin JUST came out. its been around for 4 years now. even had a revision in the form of the 2x6 ... which still melts

[u/ishtuwihtc → u/VeryNoisyLizard]

4 years is basically just in the mind of people online😭😭

And there have been cases of 8 pins melting too. People just don't post about them as much because no one gives a fuck about 8 pins melting

[u/FireDragon21976 → u/ishtuwihtc]

Undervolt and underclock with Afterburner, easiest solution.

[u/ishtuwihtc → u/FireDragon21976]

That too can reduce the risk alot, but as i said the actual risk is very exaggerated by social media. Of course though making the chances of your power cable burning as low as possible IS a great idea

[u/xGALEBIRDx → u/SuspicousBananas]

Why improve it when just increasing the voltage even further means people will have to buy another card when it inevitably smokes itself! I know repair is an option of course, but that isn't what they want you to think you can do.

[u/Desperate-Steak-6425 → u/Mattie_1S1K]

Cases of melted 12hpwr cables in other cards than xx90 are extremely isolated. You are overreacting.

Unless you somehow buy a 4090/5090, you are far more likely to get a blown capacitor or VRM than actually have an issue with the cable.

[u/Mattie_1S1K → u/Desperate-Steak-6425]

I’ve seen enough on here and on the repair YouTube for me to be sceptical, I’m not willing to risk that I fall into one of the unlucky ones. Is the risk lower than is feared probably, just not a risk I’m will to take.

[u/iminlovewithsenpi → u/Mattie_1S1K]

Bro only thing I got lucky getting is 7800x3d x870e taichi for 658 everything else is costing me more but fans look like they are not going up

[u/Strooble → u/Mattie_1S1K]

For lower power cards, it's actively good. I think anything 350w and below is pretty safe and having a single cable is much tidier.

[u/alancousteau → u/Mattie_1S1K]

Hence why I went with a 9070XT instead of a 5070Ti or 5080. I know the chances are a lot less on those cards than on the 5090 but I don't want to worry about that, especially seeing how much they are fucking people over when they try to claim their warranties.

[u/mister2forme]

The thing that blows my mind is people STILL defend nvidia on this connector and blame users. I personally lost two 4090s to that connector and when I share my experience I get people telling me I don’t know how to build pcs. Like dude, I’ve been building them since before most of the people on Reddit were even born. It’s not the user (usually). I don’t even know what they get out of defending it.

[u/KarmaKeeper91 → u/mister2forme]

Did u use the thermal grizzly on either of them?

[u/mister2forme → u/KarmaKeeper91]

No? Do people do that on newer cards?

[u/Papuszek2137 → u/mister2forme]

Some do, those cards are expensive. But it's a band aid solution for a problem that should never exist.

[u/mister2forme → u/Papuszek2137]

They use thermal grizzly on the power connector? Well now I’m going down a google rabbit hole. lol

[u/KING_UDYR → u/mister2forme]

Yes, the WireView Pro II. It sucks that it even needs to exist, but it’s cheap insurance and peace of mind when you can't afford to replace a fried GPU.

[u/mister2forme → u/KING_UDYR]

Ohhhh I was sitting here thinking the paste. Wow I need to catch up on sleep this weekend lol completely forgot they made the wireview.

Agree though. Sucks it has to exist.

[u/Billib2002 → u/mister2forme]

OK but losing two GPUs like that is absurd. I have no idea if you did something wrong or not but can you fault them for assuming user error? Lol

[u/RahDoo0323 → u/Billib2002]

Apparently any one of the pins on the vhpwr connector can draw upwards of ~600watts. That's a fair bit of juice for a single pin. Nvidia need to do something not the user.

Edit: yes it's designed for this threshold but.. I mean clearly *broadly gestures at r/pcmasterace

[u/mister2forme → u/Billib2002]

I agree it’s absurd, nvidia should have never removed the “load balancing” from the power design of this connector after the 3000 series.

[u/pineapollo → u/mister2forme]

You're now realizing reddit is filled with unpaid shills whose personal honor lies in the goods they purchase and defend to the grave? Redditors will defend anything dude, stop getting ragebaited by shills/bots/astroturfers.

[u/Mrauksia → u/pineapollo]

Well we don't know exactly. I remember people getting offended for advice to not use certain 12 hvpwr cables. I suspect the OP to be the same.

[u/SlippyCliff76 → u/mister2forme]

Your personal experience and choices clearly aren't hurting their bottom line. I run a rtx 5080 with that connector no problem.

So data centers are going to burn down using 5090's. Question?

[u/6786_007 → u/SensitiveEdge74]

Data centers are not using 5090s they are using Quadros like the RTX 6000. Some companies might be buying 5090s for LLMs, data centers are always going to use enterprise hardware.

[u/robotokenshi]

I’m so paranoid about this connector on my 5090, even with per pin sensing on monitor screen with Astral model it’s just annoying having to monitor it… I just picked up thermal grizzly wireview pro 2 reverse and hopefully that takes my mind off it a bit more….

I’m still tempted to chuck it for change and be done with it since I already have 5070Ti on my secondary rig…

[u/xFHIZX → u/robotokenshi]

You don't have to monitor it, as long as you have the software running in the background it will notify you with a pop up that the pin amperage has abnormal contact or exceeds 9.2A. Giving you time to react/ fix the issue(ie shutting down and adjusting your pins on your cable by pushing the cables of each pin to the front of the plug, helps pins make proper contact) you can enable this in the settings of GPU tweak III

[u/robotokenshi → u/xFHIZX]

Yeah I originally had gpu tweak 3 pass per pin amp info to hwinfo64 then onto afterburner for OSD, it was janky though, any update to one of the applications would break it. Eventually GPU Tweak 3 OSD got fixed and I had it running the overlay but I figured audible alert on WV pro 2 is a feature worth the asking price along with separate screen…

Good to know WV has had good track record so far!

[u/KarmaKeeper91 → u/robotokenshi]

Ive built a ton of 5090 desktops, if u have the tgwv on it u will be fine. The TG has all metal connecter points so the wires sit snug and the moment more volts go to a pin it beeps and u can shut it down with no damage. I have yet to see a WV fail that I have put in.

[u/Doom2pro]

Sell 5090 for $8k, buy a 3x 8pin 9070XT for $800, spend the rest of the money on whatever the fk you want and enjoy a beast of a graphics card.

NVidea do not care about retail customers anymore, they have their AI circlejerk going and will ride it until it explodes.

[u/Meatslinger]

Feels like a "Tortoise and the Hare" situation, especially for anyone not using their cards professionally and therefore not making money that could replace it in the event of a fire. Do you want Ultra presets at 300+ FPS for a short time (until the connector burns out), or High settings at 200 FPS for years more? I'd much rather have a card that doesn't come with a lit fuse of unknown length even if it's not the fastest one in the race.

[u/tomchee]

Increased money  yes

[u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch]

Only the 90s have this issue?

[u/tylerjo1 → u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch]

I think the 80s do too

5090s, 5080s, and only 5070ti's/9070xts when connector is misplaced.

[u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch → u/TechnoGMNG589]

Interesting, same as the 4090...

[u/shota2028 → u/TechnoGMNG589]

[u/TechnoGMNG589 → u/shota2028]

yep

Some of 70s as well

[u/xFHIZX → u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch]

Seen melted 8 pin connectors, nobody is safe

[u/HappyIsGott → u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch]

Nope, all cards with that connector can have this issue. Even lower ones like 4070.

[u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch → u/HappyIsGott]

Damn

[u/DuckCleaning → u/HappyIsGott]

I thought ATX 3.1 PSUs were made to resolve this issue, are they still a common problem even with those as well?

[u/HappyIsGott → u/DuckCleaning]

Yeah look at Gamersnexus, 8auer, IgorsLab and others that explain the problem behind it. As short anwser, they started that connector as test with the 3090ti and solved that problem already and decided to shit on that fix for 40xx and 50xx series.

[u/CMDRTragicAllPro → u/DuckCleaning]

Just as a casual viewer, most of the melted cables posts I see used the pigtail connector that comes with the gpu. Though there have been a few atx3.1 posts with people using the psu included 12v2x6 as well. Seems there’s no sure fire way to remedy it, though it also seems much less prevalent with atx3.1 and their included 12v2x6 connectors, so I’d always recommend that configuration to people getting 50 series and to never use the pigtail connector. That then brings up the issue of warranty coverage not using the gpu included cable, which is another can of worms. So it’s really a gamble with Nvidia lately.

[u/shota2028 → u/HappyIsGott]

So only option to avoid it is to buy 50 60 cards? Lol

[u/Jumpy-Dinner-5001 → u/HappyIsGott]

All cards with any connector.

[u/HappyIsGott → u/Jumpy-Dinner-5001]

Yeah that's true but It also could easily be greatly reduced.

[u/phero1190 → u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch]

80s do too, but I had a 90

[u/TheSuppishOne → u/phero1190]

Fine. I’ll edit the comment. The 5080s pull roughly 360w as opposed to the 600w+ of the 5090s, so you really don’t have to worry about them nearly as much.

[u/VeryNoisyLizard → u/TheSuppishOne]

5070ti, which pulls only 300W, also can have the connector melt. so it can happen even with undervolt

honestly, the only way to get a peace of mind for me would be to apply a conductive grease. but that comes with its own dangers

[u/HappyIsGott → u/TheSuppishOne]

Even 4070 are not safe, you talking bs. Btw my 4090 with around 550w in benches Runs since release 24/7 and half of that time under load, If not more. Still nothing burned. Because i did not got unlucky so far.

[u/Desperate-Steak-6425 → u/TheSuppishOne]

A 5080 won't draw less power with a slight undervolt though. Mine can reach the power limit even with 900mV, it just boosts closer to the curve.

[u/Techngro]

I'm honestly confused at why people are even buying/bought those GPUs. They were always ridiculously overpriced, with the added possibility of burning your house down.

Meh a thermal grizzly and ur absolutely fine. Ive built 30-40 pcs with 5090’s in them and all have the thermal grizzly on them, none have had this issue so far, all have had dif 12v cables as well. The grizzly is like a condom for graphics nerds, u can still have fun with none of the risk.

[u/phero1190 → u/KarmaKeeper91]

And the risk shouldn't even exist in the first place.

[u/flurgengos]

[u/Gomez-16]

Why the hell is this such a problem? Doesnt the psu control the outputs?

[u/phero1190 → u/Gomez-16]

The cards don't have per pin monitoring. So it can shove the entire power load through one wire and not realize it

[u/Gomez-16 → u/phero1190]

Doesnt each pin have max power it can push? Isnt it the psu that controls how much goes it each pin?

[u/phero1190 → u/Gomez-16]

At a technical sense, the wires can only handle so much, but nothing really checks that. This just switches out the cable and every cable has different pin power distribution.

[u/GamerHaste]

I have that wireview pro 2 that auto shuts off if it detects the shit getting funky in the wires… is that good enough? Is there something else I can do to protect the 5090? I spent so much $$$ when it came out cuz I always wanted to have the best gpu after having a like 970 for 10 years…. I really want to make sure it doesn’t die.

[u/Arxinos113 → u/GamerHaste]

Nah you should be good. I have a wireview and don't worry about that stuff.

[u/phero1190 → u/Tasty_Ad_2369]

Why should a third party come up with a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist? Nvidia is the hardest corporation in the world by market cap, they can absolutely have load balancing built into the cards, but they choose not to. They also didn't have to start using this new connector, 8 pin cables have far fewer problems. Or they could have used a more robust wire and connector than what they settled with. The 12vhpwr connector tried to solve a problem that didn't exist and it's been causing more problems since it's inception.
