a brief coverage of how nVidia completely fucked up power delivery on all the 4090/5090 cards and beyond,
now you'll understand why you get your PC (or house) burned down:

 

NVIDIA is totally screwed with this generation of cardz. They'r lucky if they don't get hit with a class-action lawsuit and in the meantime a market recall.

But they were id??ts, they already knew there were problems with this type of connector in previous generations and they wanted to persist in the mistake, while other manufacturers like AMD or Intel didn't want to use it. Now it's their problem. Good luck to them!

I definitely don't wnat to stay in the room to monitor it because I could end up with my house on fire.

 

Watched this just a couple hours ago. Thankfully, this hazard is only seen on their flagship cards that most people won't get. Incredible how incompetent this "standard" is.

 

At the moment no one knows, watching the video it seems is a problem that could affect also lower cards.

 

seems fine on the 4080 https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-super-founders-edition/4.html

 

no it's exactly same design problem (one resistor per whole power delivery), only difference being lower maximum card power draw being less likely to cause burnout

 

I counted 3 resistors? although them surrounding whatever the lr22 is is beyond my understanding

 

My 4090 is working perfectly ... maybe because my power connector is specificaly designed for a 4090 ?

 

maybe because you're a good PC builder and can plug things correctly (unlike some other people apparently)

Samsung too: these cell phones can be set on fire remotely

What sounds like science fiction is now reality: criminals can set smartphones on fire remotely.
But not all cell phones are affected. Owners of cheaper models in particular can rest assured.
