Reply to comment by emperorsteele in The horror has a face - NVIDIA’s hot 12VHPWR adapter for the GeForce RTX 4090 with a built-in breaking point | igor'sLAB by COMPUTER1313

You didnt really read then.

The article is effectively stating that the 12VHPWR connector standard is perfectly fine and plenty robust to handle its job, in general, and that people are fearmongering over the connecter standard being bad, when it is very much plenty fine.

NVIDIA however produced an extremely cheap and shitty adapter for it they shipped with their cards, and its the adapter that is failing, because they made it very cheaply and didnt not comply to 12VHPWR standards.

It is 100% NVIDIA's fault though, Im not sure what makes you think the article said anything opposite of that.

I'll be honest, I read it twice, because I thought I was missing something, but I still didn't understand why the article flip-flopped between the plug not having an issue, and the plug being broken.

It's either broken or isn't.

But since you pointed out the difference between standard and adapter, that makes a bit more sense. Thanks!
