der8auer got the original 5090 card from the reddit melting cable post, then demonstrated that two of the six 12V power connector cables are having 20ish amps running through them and overheating, while the other 4 cables are not.

    Not impossible that it is a coincidence but the probability that it is just fell way lower.

    If the probability that it a 5090 experiences this issue is 1%, then the probaility that both devices fail is 0.01%. Not impossible, but very unlikely.
