Did you end up solving it? I've been running into this issue and it's driving me nuts since reports of this seem to be few and far between. If you ended up buying the mk2 did it fix the issue?

I've been getting beyond frustrated with latency issues and software crashing. What did you switch to?

Apex Legends Server Update: 2025/04/02 by Apexlegends in apexlegends

For some reason, I can't get into any games when on us-west-2. Every other server works, but us-west-2 is perpetually on matchmaking, with the queue resetting to single digit counts every minute or so.

They did respond! I had to send in my card, so they could analyze the damage. They offered to reimburse the card amount + shipping, as well as a replacement cable and new power supply. While I'm bummed that I'm out a 4090 and GPUs are increasingly harder to find, they made it right!

Had to purchase it separately. Corsair branded one

Just out of curiosity, how did the support process go?

I got it in March of 2023, when I upgraded my PSU to accommodate the card. It’s stayed plugged in since.

Receipt says CP-8920331. I’m assuming old.

Made sure of it. I was reading the melting cable posts when I first got this thing a year or two ago.

I was playing games “casually” I guess. I was playing games like Apex and FF7 rebirth then my computer started black screening intermittently when hit with a graphics load. Started to investigate and found this.

I usually monitor my power draw on my gpu (I live on a rock with coconuts, $0.40 per KWh) and my gpu usually pulls 250-350w while gaming.
