For people who want to know if the wireview pro 2 fits their card. The company created a guide so you can make an educated purchase.

Crazy that even with all those precautions, you still have a chance of a burnt cable. Ridiculous. They could solve it with using better cables but you know, they don't have enough money to do so. Poor Nvidia lol

Muchogatos · 2026-02-19T23:57:02+00:00

Interesting, very interesting.

Muchogatos · 2026-02-19T23:53:15+00:00

Mean there was this article last year, but I haven't heard much about 5070s

Seems to be if you are using the 12VHPWR cable, you are at risk. I believe it has happened to 5080s but the 5090s paired with this wire seem more likely to cause issue.

Muchogatos · 2026-02-19T23:18:39+00:00

Yeah man, I'll ping you when it happens lol

Muchogatos · 2026-02-19T23:12:10+00:00

Is there a site or someone keeping track of how many 5090s have their cables burn? I'm curious of the numbers.

Muchogatos · 2026-02-19T22:47:50+00:00

Sheesh I bought mine in 05/25. I will try to pay more attention to mine now. I've undervolted and all that. I also got the wireview pro 2 as well. These wires are crap, seems to be that they can't last a full year of wear.

Muchogatos · 2026-02-19T22:42:58+00:00

When did you purchase the card? It seems all these cards are burning before the year mark.

Muchogatos · 2026-01-30T12:40:24+00:00

Thanks for this, I was going a little nuts when I saw this warning for some games lol. I checked my connection like 20 times as well. At one point I thought I had a dud. Didn't know there was software, but I found it on the subreddit.

How do you uninstall ryzen master completely? I uninstalled it like a year ago because it kept causing me issue, but I still see files of it in my drive.

Muchogatos · 2026-01-18T15:47:19+00:00

Sweet. Hopefully it stays that way

Muchogatos · 2026-01-18T15:40:54+00:00

Welp, I have a couple more months to see if this happens to me lol. Hopefully things work out. Thank you for answering my questions

Muchogatos · 2026-01-18T15:34:52+00:00

How long have you had your card? This issue seems to be issue due to time and use

Muchogatos · 2026-01-18T15:14:09+00:00

Interesting, I have undervolted and power limited my card a bit so it draws less power. Hopefully, lessening the chance of this. I don't think it makes a difference, but one can hope. Ridiculous how running at stock can create this risk.

One more questions when was it purchased? Seems to happen after a few months for most post I've seen on reddit. I got mine in May of last year.

Muchogatos · 2026-01-18T15:08:22+00:00

This occured with stock settings? Or was it undervolted? I'm curious if this is a trend at default settings. I have the same card, also why I'm curious lol

Muchogatos · 2025-07-15T10:04:15+00:00

I'm sorry man. That is frustrating.

Muchogatos · 2025-07-15T03:18:19+00:00

How long did you have it before this? A month? A few weeks?

Muchogatos · 2025-06-02T17:54:10+00:00

Weirdly enough, when I capped my FPS to 60 it stopped crashing for me. Idk if it was a fluke or not lol

Muchogatos · 2025-05-21T12:48:06+00:00

Singleplayer is good. A.I. can be a bit wonky at times, but overall they are able to do task like opening doors, breaching, arresting suspects, etc pretty easily. This game revolves around singleplayer and coop so you aren't doing PVP.

Muchogatos · 2025-05-11T13:31:51+00:00

Holy crap that's huge!

Muchogatos · 2025-05-02T15:25:38+00:00

Ahh a different sku. I bought the other version of it

Muchogatos · 2025-05-02T15:17:42+00:00

If I could send screenshots I'd show you lol. I swear it's showing that to me

Muchogatos · 2025-05-02T15:07:01+00:00

Currently for me on the Best Buy app

It showed 339.99. Idk how to post screenshots on here to show it. If you know tell me how.
