In worrying news for gamers, yet another burned-out Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 cable has been reported. While the GPU power port itself seems undamaged, a burned-out MSI cable, specifically designed to help ensure a firm and fully seated fit for the power cable, has received the full scorched earth treatment.
This is the second MSI RTX 5090 cable to burn out under similar circumstances in just a few months. While the RTX 5090 is certainly one of the best graphics card options out there for performance, the high power draw of these Nvidia GPUs appears to be occasionally causing some fairly dramatic failures that typically leave the card destroyed.
