This is the weird thing. It's seems like **so** many people still believe 4090s are burning up, while it was proven to be user error. Obviously they should have made a better design for the cables, but still. It's not like there's an actual flaw on the card.

Agreed, and it wasn't even solely Nvidia's fault as they were simply using the approved specifications of the design that a bunch of companies, including AMD, had agreed upon.  AMD is just as equally at fault in that situation, and Nvidia offered to handle all RMAs (including board partner refused RMAs) that had to deal with melted connectors.

Also, strange how nothing at all was changed on the cards and suddenly the issues have stopped showing up.  It's almost like it actually was user error.
