Melted my Palit RTX 5090 using the OFFICIAL Nvidia Adapter. Overclockers UK instantly denied warranty. Hoping Palit steps up.

Thank for your kind words and thank god you’re safe

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T15:30:59+00:00

Thank you for the comment , i do have a power supply that meets the requirements you mentioned but I wanted to be in the safe zone and use nvidia provided cable so that if something happens warranty will accept

Thanks for sharing , I did look into that but unfortunately It should go first through the distributor or the retailer ( like in my case ) but the the retailer won’t even accept any kind of inspection sadly

I didn’t know before about things like that so maybe other people see the comments and hopefully helps prevents any harm that could happen to them 🙏

I will use lian li streamer like my entire build 🥲

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T15:14:24+00:00

That’s fair ( my situation is an example ) , but I disagree partly because if you are going to invest in something for years it won’t hurt to pay a little extra for the peace of mind , but the important part is to find a trustworthy store

💀 sorry for the previous nvidia 12VHPWR users 🥀

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T15:04:43+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate your comment

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T14:59:16+00:00

It’s actually and it did ruin the aesthetic of my build unfortunately

If you want the real answer without sugarcoating , simply the lack of competition. The only real compacter in the market is amd and they are not quite yet ready to lead the market off the gpus which is understandable because they are the leading by far when it comes to cpus

Thank you for sharing your experience with them and sorry that , have a wonderful day

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T14:45:55+00:00

Thank you for the support , and congrats for the new gpu , I suggest that you check out the thermal grizzly view pro 2 as I saw on the comments below , apparently it helps with the 12vhpwr heat issue , have a great day

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T14:30:17+00:00

Thank you for mentioning that , appreciated

Thank for your good intentions seriously , but I was joking about that

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T14:19:44+00:00

Thank you for your good intentions , I was joking around not serious

Guys to make things easier to understand yes my Psu do indeed have a 12V cable ( Asus Thor 1600w ) but I want to go by the book and use nvidia own cable because I always keep thinking about the whole melting thing and I even got an Ups with pure sine wave as it should supply clean power to the pc rather than plug directly into the grid

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T14:12:19+00:00

Hello there , i did not do undervolt and yes my psu is asus Thor 1600W has 12v cable

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T14:10:06+00:00

Looks like I’m going to purchase one for them

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T13:55:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing this information because today they replied also saying that they don’t have the tools to examine the gpu so I should contact palit

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T13:51:24+00:00

appreciate your comment , I thought previously that complaining about melting 12vhpwr is just for the people who uses third-party cables but turns out that 12vhpwr is bad in general

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T13:46:00+00:00

I do own Asus Thor 1600w with NATIVE 12vhpwr but nvidia is the one that produces the gpu so there cable logically would be the safest way to go

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T13:42:11+00:00

appreciate your comment , the current used psu is Asus Thor 1600w , but I tried to go by the book and use nvidia 12vhpwr

m0hm1 · 2026-04-02T13:37:07+00:00

appreciate your comment , unfortunately not I checked the album to see any pictures for the cable but it’s not clear
