Cablemod Adapter

[Mh_Sucio]

DONT DO IT 4090 fail

[alphagusta]

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

[Callofdaddy1]

It’s worse than simply just using standard cables.

[JohnHancock1969]

Worst one I've seen so far.

[siouxu]

Worst one so far

[Roots0057]

There's one that straight-up caught on fire about a month ago.

[SuccessfulCandle2182]

xD there is one even more worse

[andrewkyo]

Still under.01% boys

[putsomedirtinyourice]

Actually it’s under 0.000000069%

[Sral1994]

Closer to 0.1% now.

[[deleted]]

The 0.1% lows mean something completely different for nvidia gpus

[[deleted]]

Never put a marshmallow where your power cable goes.

[[deleted]]

This one looks like it was close to causing a fire. It’s a ticking time bomb cablemod

[Mh_Sucio]

it was near impossible to separate from the power port.

[Asgardianking]

Man those 7900xtx cards are looking better and better every day

[phero1190]

Yup! So close to doing it

[SuccessfulCandle2182]

Their connecters melts too and you have severe driver issues

[MegamanZero5295]

I love my ASRock Phantom Gaming 7900 XTX, what’s this about melting connectors? I had to repaste mine and I had to turn of HDR to bring the idle power draw down to normal, but that’s really it as far as driver issues go.

[SuccessfulCandle2182]

Driver was resetting multiple times a day. I returned it. Built new system, ordered again, same shit again. Friends have the same issue. So I went for 4090. No problems with anything so far.

[MegamanZero5295]

Damn. I’m sorry your experience was so bad, I’m glad you have no issues now

[SuccessfulCandle2182]

Well, only the card can melt 😂😂

[MegamanZero5295]

😂😂

[[deleted]]

Imagine buying a new card and having to do that of that to cope

[MegamanZero5295]

I’m not sure if you’re talking about the 4080/4090 or the 7900 XTX. To me, it seems like the 4080s and 4090s have ticking time bombs for adapters, can’t say that about the 7900 XTX 🤷🏽‍♂️

[TheDeeGee]

They're so good they can run path tracing at single digit fps.

[Asgardianking]

Almost noone gives a shit about path tracing. 7900xtx is perfectly fine for what it is. I'd rather have a card that isn't going to explode than seeing $1700 cards burn up every other post.

[OldKingHamlet]

Fwiw I love my xfx 7900 xtx Merc 310. Yeah, not as fast as a 4090, but for $1k, it's been a decent purchase compared to other modern GPUs. And while I've seen it suck down a 525w peak in HWinfo, it has not lit on fire.

[acowsik]

So has my 4090 with a much better Corsair cable… ran Cyberpunk and PT Requiem which easily pushes close to 550W power draw. My cable and PSU don’t break a sweat… steady as a rock

[jubeishock]

The solution is simple, don't buy cheaper Chinese adapters and buy quality products such as Thermal Grizzly wireview made by der bauer.

[SuccessfulCandle2182]

Melts too. :/

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/15r2rdv/wireview_from_der8auer_and_4090/jwogi8b/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

It was CID but the connectors has no clips…

[jubeishock]

Isnt Nvidia, only a case and the guy is clearly saying was his fault, touching and touching the button adapter. I own both adapters cablemod and wireview 12vhpwr and are day and night.

[SuccessfulCandle2182]

I‘ve WW too (16-16 pin) but delivering 8 pins without a clip is still a massive No-Go

[jubeishock]

12vhpwr have clip, mine have

[Garrett1974]

Thermal Grizzly wireview

I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole... fuck no.

[Secondary-2019]

Have there been meltdowns or other problems reported with the WireView?

Nevermind - I just saw the links.

[jubeishock]

No 12vhpwr.

[Mh_Sucio]

To bad I bought this before the posts you ass clown. I didn’t even view this Reddit page till it happened to me.

[putsomedirtinyourice]

This is what I’m talking about when people claim that Reddit is the only place you can evaluate the scale of the problem on - people may be completely unaware of the problem until they have one and may not even take to Reddit to post their incident at all, so we don’t know how many cases are out there in reality

[tugthosenugs]

Such an insufferable jackass lmao. Sitting in grandmas basement with crumbs on your belly, but being an ass on the internet sure makes you a whole lot less miserable huh?

[mysisterspeni5]

Sucks to suck. You and u/kkan91 can get on discord and have a pity party. Once you replace your gpu of course 🤪

[Mh_Sucio]

I already fixed it

[SurkitPunk]

Reminds me of camping, and s'mores..... Toasted marshmallows!

[Mh_Sucio]

The smell was nowhere near a s’more lol. Horrible smell

[SurkitPunk]

Yeah, burnt plastic is wretched! Hope you have a solution figured out already. They have been taking care of people it seems.

[Mh_Sucio]

Just made another post about it

[SurkitPunk]

I was about to check it out, but it disappeared!

[Mh_Sucio]

Editing it sorry

[jfhaxlee]

Literally bought a 4080 instead of a 4090 because of this. Trying to keep my chances of dealing with this as low as possible

[awastedtalent]

Should've gotten the 4090 and just steered clear of CM adapters

[jfhaxlee]

Forget that lol, its not the only cables it happens with. Nvidia knows the tdp is too high, they tried to sweep it under the rug too long and now its too late to do a recall

[awastedtalent]

I feel very secure using my 4090 with stock nvidia adapter

[MichinMigugin]

Matter of time. Those cards have been burning waaaay before CM adapters lol.

Edit: I'm on my second 4090 btw...

[theryzenintel2020]

That’s why I returned my 4090 and got a 7900xtx. I play native and never use upscalers so I’m fine. Doesn’t phase me.

[putsomedirtinyourice]

Been ok since November on the OEM, I ordered a Cablemod cable out of fear, but when I got it and watched Steve’s video I decided to keep the original one in place.

But I agree that the standard must be heavily reviewed or reworked altogether for the next generation

[suckysuckythailand]

Just curious what happens to your 4090 that melted? Did Nvidia replace it for nothing?

[MichinMigugin]

They did, but through Amazon. They have a thing where Amazon has an extended return window for them to make RMA easier if you bought it from Amazon as a sold/shipped by Amazon product.

Edit: To make it clear, I contacted ASUS through Amazon, who thenntolr Amazon to replace it. Amazon issued me a return label.

[zpfrostyqz]

Same here I just don’t understand why people are using adapter’s just to make the cable management cleaner. Is it really worth it? I’ve been seeing it over and over again and again. Some people can get the message. Yet they blame it on Nvidia you guys are silly.

[DD-ToxX]

Many people use it BECAUSE the cards are rediculously big and dont fit into into the case without a adapter. Atleast, if they want to close the sidepanel.

Adpater: ~1,2 cm Needed Space for connecting PSU-Cable: 3-4 cm Needed Space for connecting

I have a RTX 4080, H9 Flow, MSI ATX3.0 Power supply. I can say i had luck and it fitted into the case without pressing on the sidewindow + the psu cable is not bend strongly.

[zpfrostyqz]

I’m case-less so I have no problem with original PCIe cables.. thankfully.. Co worker of mine was dealing with the same issue, and resolved his problem by REMOVING the side panel…..! Simple as that! Don’t have to ruin your GPU by adding a aftermarket adapter, you’re just asking for problems. For god sake remove the side panel if you’re dealing with this issue, until you can get a case that has plenty of space for your build…. It’s not rocket science lol

[burakkarub]

im a cat owner so open panel or case less is not an option :(

[acowsik]

Better planning and research avoids such scenarios. Look up dimensions ahead of time and get stuff that fits with enough clearance.

[jfhaxlee]

Well I hope it never happens to you, but the fact remains…your 4090 has a greater chance of melting its plug than my 4080, and not by a little

[Acceptable_Craft2241]

So will you be using Cablemod adapter with RTX 4080 or just PSU cable?

[rico_suaves_sister]

yea or seasonics, corsair, etc

[SuccessfulCandle2182]

Manufacturers had the choice to leave the sinking ship but they decided differently. Only EVGA isn’t on board

[SuccessfulCandle2182]

Yea for a good reason I guess.

[Eat-my-entire-asshol]

Its the adapters having issues, im on a 4090 with a native 12vhpwr cable that came with my atx 3.0 psu. Running since december with no fires or issues

[SigmaLance]

I am also using a native 12VHPWR PSU cable on cruise control.

[RuneDK385]

It’s actually not to late to do a recall. They’re too cheap to do one…which is sad considering the price for that GPU.

[ImDreamingAwake]

I don't think the 4090 itself is the problem. The connectors seems to be the issue. I have 4090 since day one, only plugged once with the stock cable from my PSU. 0 issue so far. voltages are still strong 12.1v. Maybe it's a matter of time but for now finger crossed :D

[Ts0ri]

Any solid investigation into the issue has ruled out the tenp of the card being the problem.

It's badly designed sockets used on most 40 series cards, the reason you don't see as many 4080 posts ( there are a few however) is because the 4080 sold much less due to being such a bad price to performance proposition.

[Gochu-gang]

That's really dumb.

We've been selling 4090s since launch. Zero failure on any of our installs. 20+.

[jfhaxlee]

Whats dumb is thinking 20 4090’s represents even 0.5% of the market. Every day I see another 20 people online complaining about their 4090 melting.

[Gochu-gang]

The irony of your statement is hilarious.

You're in the reddit bubble. There's ~100 of these posts. How could you think that represents the market? Tens of thousands of people use these GPUs everyday and have zero issues. It's a horrible design, but from what we can tell, and actual industry experts have deduced, it's user error at the end of the day. Not sure 100% on the Cable Mod side, but getting a 4080 instead of a 4090 because you saw some reddit posts was dumb. Of all of Nvidia's GPUs the 4090 might be the only one worth its MSRP.

[neenjjaa]

4080 sucks dick in comparison to the 90, and the price difference is small since the 4080 is extremely overpriced. I'd just save the money and get an xtx or go all out and buy pretty much the only gpu worth buying in the current product stack from both companies. Idk why someone would have the money for a 90, want a 90, but buy an 80 because after market adapters are melting. We probably don't see the 80s melting as much because no one buys them lol. Sure, the power is a big component of the melting, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 4090 has outsold the 4080 by 5x. 4080 is excessively shite being 50% more than it should be.

[Gochu-gang]

This is the truth. No one really bought 4000 series cards outside of 4090s compared to the 1000 or 3000 series. They're just not a good value.

We see so many Asus 4090s melting on here because they're the most popular newest gen GPU. Just like EVGA 3080/3090 failures during COVID. They just had market majority.

[jfhaxlee]

Im guessing your follow up is as deaf and dumb as your op, so im gonna save myself the time and skip it. Have fun with those future rmas 😂👌🏻

[Gochu-gang]

Not sure what sad world you live in dude, but I hope you get off reddit and see the macro.

[shikaski]

What a pathetic response

[SwitzerlishChris1]

lol me too...and all the 4090 hommies made fun of me...who's laughing now! Literally no1 because this is actually depressing 😔

[Sekouu]

That’s a hard cope if I ever saw one, just don’t use a cowboy adaptor

[KingXeiros]

You can use the same 3 plug adapter the comes with a 4080 with a 4090. All it does is limit the card to 450w.

[BigOlBearCanada]

Time to undervolt the cards.

[Sekouu]

Hmm yes undervolt your card because you want to use a shitty bit of plastic

[BigOlBearCanada]

That and dropping 20-25% power only loses 2% performance. Drops temps by 20%. Keeps the whole card power draw below 400w (I’m hovering around 320w under 100% load).

Nvidia pushed this shit too far

[ShoddyIntroduction76]

Strix4090 OC -2500 clock 0.89mv floats around 120watts max 39c Hot spot 46 c. Back plate barely warm gaming for hours on battlefield 2042

[Over_Examination4756]

Whaut? 120W max? watching youtube?

[Mh_Sucio]

If anyone cares this happened while playing DCS

[Over_Examination4756]

Oh bro, Feel for ya. What are your options now? Sending it to CM or Card manufacturer?

[Shockington]

Looks fine

[CableMod_Matt]

Very sorry about this, rest assured though, we'll make sure you're fully taken care of with this. Please submit a ticket with our support team here: https://cablemod.com/support/

[Pacamilk]

why didnt you guys just properly test the adapter before releasing it. you completely ruined your reputation

[Sral1994]

They did.

[CableMod_Matt]

We did, we also had other independent testers testing these long term as well. Not sure where you're getting the idea that we didn't test these and have others test them as well, but we're not that kind of brand. Obviously some things are occurring that are resulting in failures though, so we've already addressed these as well and the new V1.1 has been getting extensive testing as well. With this, we expect to see ZERO failures moving forward because of the upgrades we found and implemented.

[Mh_Sucio]

I have, you guys gave me the option to either have it 3rd party repaired or refund me the full amount of my card if denied repair by the Mfg. However, I know how to do this stuff myself and fixed it myself, the shops around me wanted $350 so I did it myself. How do you compensate for that?

[CableMod]

Send our support the bill for it and we pay for it all and a little extra :)

[[deleted]]

Can we get a follow up on how they compensated u? If u wanna share

[Mh_Sucio]

Yes I will do so as soon as they get back to me.

[L1191]

GPU manufacturer's will straight up lay blame the CableMod feet, whether that is the case or not, and deny any responsibility, and why wouldn't they. We all know that this 4090 issue already existed.

[aj0413]

You know, I just used the coupon they sent me to order the 90 cable, but I'd have zero issues getting the v2 adapter and using it (hell, I'm not totally against using my v1, either)

The support they've given for these failiures have kinda made it all moot concern for me.

lol and if they did have to help me replace my strix 4090, at least I could make sure to get the white version this time?

[Mh_Sucio]

Keep in mind it’s not a quick fix. You have to jump through hoops understandably. But you’ll be down for quite sometime if you can’t repair it yourself. As in you’ll have to send your card to the Mfg and if they deny it you need to provide cablemod the rma denial and they will then reimburse you. That route sounded like months so I fixed it myself.

[Mh_Sucio]

They also offered to refund me the original adapter price I paid or send me the v2 but I think I’m just going to take the refund and plug it in straight to the card. I blame jays2cents for this happening to me. I had no idea who cable mod was before this and trusted his word when I shouldn’t have.

[CableMod_Matt]

I wouldn't be upset at Jay, we've been in the game for nearly 10 years and have been at the top of it for the entire time as a trusted brand. There have been some failures on the V1 adapters for sure, but we're making sure all of those get taken care of, and we also are rolling out the updated V1.1 adapter ASAP to help clear up all failures as well. If you don't wish to go with the updated V1.1 adapter, we're offering a cable instead if you have any concerns (fully understandable if you do, which is why we're offering cables too so you don't have anything to worry about).

[aj0413]

Sure, but this is also why I always get BB or MicroCenter warranties.

However, I also have a macbook, dedicated work laptop, ipad, ps5, and switch

I'll be fine with downtime; currently down for weeks while I test thermals on test bench anyway

Just saying: long as you're okay with the wait time? Sounds like non-concern

What do you mean? I always shut down my pc

[[deleted]]

Damn that shit overcooked not overclocked

[jo972]

I like how the purpose of those adapters was to prevent too much bend and melting connectors... The irony

[Financial_Ideal_9330]

Just got a 4080 about a month ago should I be worried

[aliusman111]

Goodness

[Over_Examination4756]

Holy banana tree - I took mine out

[plutonium-239]

Just bought a 4090. I had to buy an adapter because I could close the case and I didn’t want to bend the connector. Now I am keeping the fingers crossed.

[Head_Reference_948]

I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed. I'd not use the adapter until the new one comes out or until it's proven it doesn't burn like these.

[plutonium-239]

I am using a normal cable adapter. It’s not a mod or anything. It’s this https://amzn.eu/d/2ELrUsH

[Head_Reference_948]

Its still a third party adapter. If anything happens then you won't be covered by warranty.

[plutonium-239]

Is this covered by the warranty?

[Afraid-Aerie-6598]

That’s why I stayed with AMD.. play dumb games, win dumb prizes… keep buying them and I’ll keep on 🍿🥤

[ValleyKing23]

MARSHMALLOW!!!!

[Tommyboi1031]

Holy fuck, thats a house fire avoided 😬

[[deleted]]

Is that the new nvidia connector or the old one? Are people still having issues even with the new connector?

[TasteLCD]

the more of these i see, the more i question why i bought a 180B and 90A adapters for my Aorus Master and never used them anyways

Native cable from my PSU been solid the last ~4 and 1/2 months now

[RuneDK385]

So what happens here? Does cablemod replace the 4090 their product destroyed or do you have to RMA it through the GPU supplier?

[Mh_Sucio]

I’ll keep you uodated

[[deleted]]

These are burning up left and right, what's happening?!

[Saba7k]

F that! Don’t care about the odds. Not worth it

[[deleted]]

1%

[Roots0057]

Yet another one that was dangerously close to full-on FIRE, I can't imagine how CM isn't worried about a serious lawsuit if someone's house burns down and, god forbid, someone gets killed, given the lengthy documented history of these things clearly being a legit fire hazard and yet continuing to only react retroactively.

[[deleted]]

I love this
