RTX 4090 16-Pin Power Connector Woes Spawn 3D Printed Fix
PC Building Redditor share His 16 pin power connector cable guide design. You can check out Mike JC’s finished 3D print and get the 3D print source files from the link above. here Please correct it as much as you want and output it.
It’s no surprise that PC DIY enthusiasts and enthusiasts are worried about installing and running Nvidia’s new flagship GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. Following the news of melting the Quadropus into a 16-pin power connector, graphics card editors felt that Red Dead Redemption 2 needed to keep the RTX 4090 from turning red and dying. Best of all, he wisely kept the cables from bending too much, so he couldn’t reattach the PC chassis side panel.
Mike JC’s cable bending guide seems to be based on CableMod’s advice. guide, to warn against exaggerated bends. It also suggests that if you need to bend the cable (which almost everyone does), the connector shouldn’t start bending until he is 35 mm away from the assembly. The 3D printer source file, aptly named “Nvidia RTX 4090 16 Pin Cable Bend Protector”, was designed with such measurements in mind.
“So for all you chasing Nvidia and 4090 16-pin cable adapter melting cable gates, this is for you,” Mike JC wrote for Thangs.com. “Apparently, bending the cable past the 35mm mark can melt the $1600+ card. This ensures that the cable stays in place even if you put the case panel back on. The Redditor and 3D printing enthusiast added that the design was initially created as a joke, but will not be used in real life until the manufacturer’s solution is confirmed to be safe. It may be possible.
Other solutions to cable overheating that users have found to protect their substantial investment in hardware include: waste Until a sensible and safe alternative arrives, the PC side panel (same idea as the GPU editor) or actively cooling Cable connector with RGB fan (just kidding).
There is some debate as to whether Nvidia’s Quadropus solution is inherently insecure. Igor’s Lab seems to think this adapter is prone to problems and likely the root cause of many of the issues we’re seeing. Some say a pin to 16 pin direct connect cable (with a good PSU) might be the solution.
Despite all the size, weight, power, heat, and pricing issues, the RTX 4090 still tops the best graphics cards chart for 2022 thanks to its staggering performance. AMD isn’t going down the 16-pin power route for its upcoming Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs, so hopefully that’s a sign of greater efficiency and elegance, but enough to make it desirable for gamers living on the edge. It has performance.
