Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 owner saved by their cat, after GPU power connector melts
An owner of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card reported their cat alerted them to a melting power connector, potentially preventing a PC fire. This incident adds to documented cases of high-end Nvidia GPUs experiencing issues with their power connectors, particularly the 12VHPWR type, due to high power draw. While precautions like secure connections and good ventilation can help mitigate risks, the problem persists with powerful cards like the RTX 4090 and RTX 5090.
