ezst036 I guess adding a warning system is cheaper than just adding load balancing circuits that prevent it all. But look at the shiny new software. Yeah, that's great. So I get an interrupt when a game is playing instead of just having a card that self protects. It is better than nothing. Reply

There were rumors that Nvidia mandated (either directly or via the PEG as a proxy) the bus-bar type design on the 4000 and 5000 series, unlike the 3090 series which had three power rails. There has to be some reason more manufacturers haven't used the older, (apparently safer) design. Reply

derekullo I hope it doesn't but I can see anti-cheat thinking this dll is malicious with bad things happening. Reply

Kindaian Not touching anything with the crappy cable with a pole until they release a newer version of the cards without such an issue. It's idiotic that they insist that there is no problem. What does it need? Someone to die from a fire started by this? If this was a toaster, it would have been recalled long ago! Reply
