NVIDIA calls attention to ``Check if the insertion is complete'' about the connector melting problem of GeForce RTX 4090

About this matter, NVIDIA investigated more than 50 cases. As a result, we conclude that many problems are due to incomplete mating of the connector. The connector in the fully inserted state looks like this.



On the other hand, an imperfect insertion leaves a small amount of space.



NVIDIA recommends plugging the power dongle into the graphics card first and making sure the connector is fully and evenly inserted before plugging the graphics card into the motherboard to ensure that the connector is firmly seated. .

Prior to NVIDIA's announcement, Mr. Steve Burke of YouTuber channel Gamers Nexus also verified himself and demonstrated that the connector melts if the insertion is incomplete.
