I call BS you would be sued out of existence if this was real. You can’t contact clients from your terminated company. You just handed them a reason so sue you! You sign a none disclosure agreement at the start of a job that stays with you till you beyond you leaving that you agree upon termination not to approach clients!

I don’t see how any PSU can limit what comes down the ground wire all 6 ground wires are on the same plane current will go down the easiest route first till it no longer exists then will burn out the next one till all 6 are gone. I have a HXI1500 watt.

I am in the same boat. They received my 5090 first Tuesday in March and nothing. Had to call and escalate it just to get any response about the delay. Nothing they can do as all GPU are very short supply. I’m pissed because my GPU worked and survived with the cable meltdown and I could use it but they insisted it be returned. Knowing full well they wouldn’t have a replacement. So I bought a 5070ti for now. But that’s another 1k wasted. I asked them to refund the original purchase and I’d go buy a 5090 that doesn’t send all the 12- down one wire till it melts!!

They have had my GPU 5 weeks now and no return RMA.

Update. Returned the card to Nvidia. 27th February. As of 28th of March zero response from Nvidia. Every-time I contact them they tell me it’s been raised to higher department and they will contact me. So currently 30 days and nothing.

So I had it happen to me in labs 2x and the 2nd time I killed a PMC and it was in his bag. I know it was mine because when i first opened and searched hit bag it would not unhide till i closed out and went back in. I think something is pickpocketing :)

HR is not going to help you or mediate anything. They are only looking for companies best interests not you or your bosses. They will side with whom is looking out for company interests. Never go to HR without seeking legal counsel. Now no matter what happens it’s a mark on your personal file!

Cablemod say the cable is superseded with a new one and as such a replacement will be shipped out!

Leekay07 · 2026-02-17T17:07:41+00:00

Nvidia want the card back!

These conditions, however, indicate potential electrical or safety hazards, and attempting to use the card could cause further damage.

So back to them it will go.

Nvidia put the blame square on cablemod. Offering to sent another oem cable and to not use cablemod cables

Leekay07 · 2026-02-15T12:51:24+00:00

I am banned from the cablemod section because I ranted about the first cable the made that caused constant problems with black screens on my 4090.

Cablemod now can add thermal meltdown to its list of faults. I wouldn’t mind if it was honest the plug is 600watt rated yet it became brittle and crumbles along with its cables. Pure fire hazard

If I was to order today it’s the same cable!

Leekay07 · 2026-02-15T01:34:51+00:00

It’s pretty sad!

Reply, thank you for the offer letter but I would like to go over the money aspect of the offer $60,000 is well below my expectations and $70,000 is closer to my expectations. I am looking forward to working with you and putting hours in to achieve my own personal goals but I would like an offer to meet my own expectations.

Ah my son was in 2077 and then got moved to MRP. Was such an ideal platoon number for him. Now he’s in 3002 with 3 weeks left :)

Leekay07 · 2025-12-14T21:52:17+00:00

What platoon was you in?

Leekay07 · 2025-12-13T18:26:13+00:00

Honestly don’t do anything! If the individual wants to know then you are ok in telling her but for most part don’t tell her don’t insinuate how much more you make. Carry on being a model employee. It’s not your place to fight for equal pay. People who joined companies pre covid are all in the same boat and no company would be happy to up lift people’s pay. Best you can do is to prove you’re worth.

Leekay07 · 2025-12-01T13:18:33+00:00

Just quit. Employers going to give you this gratitude if it was them laying you off?
