After weeks of examining allegations that the power cords for its RTX 4090 graphics card were melting and burning, Nvidia now claims to know why: they weren’t plugged in all the way.
Nvidia said in a Friday post to its customer support forum that it is currently reviewing the allegations, but that its results “indicate” that an unsecured connection has been a widespread issue. It also claims to have received 50 reports of the problem.
