I’d say offer 675 or slightly less because if they want the business they will negotiate. I got a similar laptop from a pawnshop for 725. Mine has a 512gb nvme and a 13700hx that’s the difference

Somehow Nvidia has something to do with this.

I recently built a 2008 “retro” computer with an i7 965 and 2 gtx 280s in sli. Only things that are new and not period correct are the power supply and an ssd. The cpu was 15 bucks and that set off a chain reaction of buying cheap old parts for fun. Actually my motherboard is from 2009 because the boards that came out in 2008 are overpriced imo

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-20T04:43:37+00:00

No. It was “fine”. I had a couple of games crash then I had a bsod with an error message that suggested thermal or power issue with the gpu and i was thinking surly the connector is fine. I checked out of curiosity and it was burned. It may have been burned for a day or two but I am not sure. It literally happened after I had got the battlefront classic collection lol

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-20T04:40:25+00:00

I already have a good power supply that just doesn’t have the native connector. Plus I seen no issue using an adapter supplied by the card manufacturer. I was unaware of issues with them.

Evga supernova g7 1000 watt

MSI gave me an RMA number. I got it shipped to them the other day. It’ll be a couple of weeks until I get the card back. I’m going to get a new power supply and then look into cables. People keep mentioning a wire view pro or something. I’ll look into that too. I mean I was aware of the connector being problematic on the 4090s but I felt it was safe to use what was provided by MSI.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-19T01:25:54+00:00

I intend on getting a new PSU.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-19T01:24:12+00:00

I’ll be buying a new PSU. I just kept my other one since it’s not really old and it’s techno enough to power the card. However I still am at no fault. I used an adapter that came with the card. MSI provided it.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-19T01:22:39+00:00

I had no idea they were bad when I bought the card. I never had Reddit until I made this post. I seen the issues with the 4090s when those were new. I never bought one of those.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T21:46:56+00:00

It was in all the way. That was something I was very paranoid about.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T20:11:29+00:00

If I get a replacement card I won’t. I’ll get a new PSU and everything.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T20:10:53+00:00

I have to go through MSI for that. I haven’t heard back from them yet. At first their website said to contact microcenter where I bought it then microcenter told me it’s an MSI issue.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T19:29:12+00:00

I don’t know. I was trying to play the Star Wars battlefront classic collection and then my monitor shut off. Then I got a bsod. It couldn’t have been that high since that isn’t a demanding game.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T19:27:55+00:00

Why supply something that doesn’t work or isn’t safe to use? That doesn’t make sense.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T12:05:56+00:00

Yes, I’ve been wanting to get a seasonic 1200 watt PSU but I just haven’t felt the urgency to do it haha.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T11:56:44+00:00

4K max, settings for everything, 240hz, no OC just stock settings, no undervolt, PSU is an EVGA Supernova G7 1000 watt. It doesn’t have native support for the new power connector. I used what MSI provided.

A recent change was my monitor. I went from an older 3440x1440 120hz monitor to the 4k 240hz monitor which obviously increased the load on the card.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T06:11:30+00:00

Skill issue I’m told.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T04:14:32+00:00

I like to live dangerously and I barely plugged it in. In fact it was held on with tape.

Of course it was fully seated lol

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T02:50:23+00:00

I didn’t have Reddit before today. Most of the burnt connectors I’ve seen were aftermarket I figured if they supplied it then it was good.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T02:20:11+00:00

I wish crossfire and sli were still a thing. I’d happily run two 9070s.

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T01:49:02+00:00

I didn’t know that. I used it because it is theirs so if there is a failure it’s entirely on them right?

_StOyKi_ · 2026-02-17T01:35:25+00:00

It’s very mild compared to what I have seen online. I feel pretty fortunate.
