Seems to be less about the connector, but more about load balancing. The German guy who had 150Β°C connectors at the PSU side also measured current draws. One cable was doing 22 A (so almost half of the 5090's total consumption) while the other ~~7~~ five were just chilling.
Nvidia connected all six cables like they were one and have no way to measure or balance the load across all six.
They used to do load balancing on the 30 series, treating it as 3 cables basically (3x2 cables).
That's true, but once my apartment is on fire, I don't really care if it was the cable or the connector.
My insurance might be interested, though.
You're never gonna push the technological envelope with that attitude, bro.
That's fine.
How about both?
I'd expect the design to take into account this kind of issue, they're only one of the most valuable companies in the world, surely they can afford some QA.
