[Pedro-NF]

The infamous 12V-2x6 power connector has claimed another victim. This time it is the media outlet, Club386, whose GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition and their be quiet! Dark Power 13 PSU were both destroyed after a properly seated, single-cable 16-pin connection melted at both ends.

The cable was not a third-party product, and the connector was fully seated. The team has been testing GPUs for decades, so it is unlikely to be user error, but none of that mattered.
