He said he bought a GeForce RTX 4090-powered PC a few days ago, but the 12VHPWR connector melted. Grab name is not written.
At the moment, reports of ignition and melting of the 12VHPWR connector are reported for “ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition” and “Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING OC 24G”.
