    This is why I don’t update Nvidia drivers unless there’s a fix I need. If it’s stable, that’s all I want.

      Until the GPU cooks itself anyway, because nvidia can’t admit their new power connector was a mistake.

        Seems to be less about the connector, but more about load balancing. The German guy who had 150°C connectors at the PSU side also measured current draws. One cable was doing 22 A (so almost half of the 5090’s total consumption) while the other 7 five were just chilling.

          How about both?

          I’d expect the design to take into account this kind of issue, they’re only one of the most valuable companies in the world, surely they can afford some QA.

      Don’t worry, Nvidia got you covered: it also likes to occasionally break with kernel updates.
