RTX 5090 owner cuts hole in case for 16-pin cable, it burns anyway - VideoCardz.com

A Gigabyte RTX 5090 user modified the case around the 16-pin cable and still experienced connector damage. Repairing the GPU-side header cost around $90.

It’s hilariously sad how bad the 12vhp standard, the implementation is.

Even on cheap power supplies we weren’t having this issue with other connectors.

Probably a contributing factor, but probably not the cause
