UPDATE: Since filming and uploading this video reports from Igor's lab suggest the current spat of failures are due to poor design of NVIDIA's adapter, rather than the connector itself. The majority of the content of this video isn't specific to these failures, but talking about the connector choice as a whole.
I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures of burned and melted 4090’s on Reddit already, but since I finally have my hands on one of these, I think we should talk about it in a bit more detail and explain what’s going on here.
