5090 tuf power cable - Seasonic 12VHPWR PCIe-adapterkabel, 90°

[foxhoundutch]

i ordered this power cable for my 5090 tuf , this cable is original cable bought for seasonic psu's 

its already bend downwards so it would be safest way to prevent melting right ?

those nvidia things are so much cables and seeing so much melting cases i just rma my 4090 with cablemods adapter so i dont want it again 🙂
just one cable in my psu directly in the graphics card.

I also use this cable with my Seasonic Prime 850, previously with a 4070Ti and now with a 5070Ti (although these GPUs don't draw as much power as a 5090).

The problem with the melting connectors wasn't with the connector itself, but rather with the contact between the individual pins in the connector.

You shouldn't have any problems with this connector, though. Just make sure the connector on the GPU side clicks into place and is properly seated.

thank you , 

that is the cable i had with my 4090 tuf but i think a new cable for a new graphics card is better so i know for sure its not damaged or wear and tear .. 

thnx 😄 greets

As above, this cable should be fine. The general consensus with 90 degree connectors is when you're adding an *additional* connector into the mix. Typically, adding additional junction points isn't advisable as you're just adding another point of potential failure in the chain.

i just want a fresh cable for this new graphics card. i dont know if this cable or how long it will last after my 4090 melting ******show, and the bending to much issue is miminal with this cable because its already going down so the bending is already done for me.  right ? 😄

wtf ! i thought of using original cable but i dont get the last bit whole the way in ! and it dont make a click sound! what is that for crapp cables :S

According to your pictures, the connector is fully inserted. The retaining clip at the top is also completely behind the retaining lug of the socket.

This click only comes from the small clip at the top, which slides behind the retaining lug.
Sometimes you can barely hear it because it's very quiet, but you can also feel it a little.
At least, that's been the case with my Seasonic cable so far.
I've had two of them: 1x 12VHPWR and, since my 5070Ti, a 12V2x6 (the newer version of the 12VHPWR, where the four small sense pins are positioned a little further back to ensure the connector is fully inserted).
But both cable versions should work flawlessly with the Blackwell.

Otherwise, if you're unsure, unplug the connector and plug it back in again, listening for the "click" and whether you can feel it click into place.

As said, it looks to be fully inserted.
