Nov 07, 2022| The RTX 4090 using the native 16Pin power cord also burned, or due to high power consumption of the graphics card
According to tomshardware, another GeForce RTX 4090 user has reported that the original 16Pin power cord has been burned. According to his account on Reddit, he carefully moved the power cord without bending it unnecessarily. Fortunately, the power port on the graphics card was not burned out, and it also uses a MSI graphics + power combination, namely MSI's GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB graphics card and MPG A1000G power supply.
It is reported that the player specially bought the ATX 3.0 specification of the power supply, so that the original support PCIe 5.0 graphics card 12VHPWR power supply port and cable, but did not expect that one side of the cable end and the graphics card side of the terminal burned. The bottom line is that the RTX 4090 consumes too much power.
In fact, when AMD announced its RX 7000 graphics card this week, it noted that the decision not to use 16Pin was made a year ago due to cost, design complexity and, more importantly, the fact that the Radeon doesn't require as much power.
