RTX 5090 Connector Melts During DLSS 5 Test: Correct Installation No Longer Enough
techtimes.com · 7d
RTX 5090 connector melt strikes a correctly installed, yellow-tipped MSI cable during DLSS 5 Neural Rendering in NBA 2K27: GPU-Z logged sustained 613.5W board power above the 12V-2x6 connector's 600W rated ceiling, confirming that DLSS 5 power draw introduces a new failure risk that proper cable seating and correct installation alone cannot prevent.
First report: Enthusiast says DLSS 5 pushed RTX 5090 past 600W and melted the 16-pin connector — Nvidia's neural rendering tech adds up to 50% more power draw in testing — tomshardware.com, 7d
