The connector has been revised for the new RTX 50-series cards but MSI has taken a leaf from its own books and incorporated a new adapter cable for its Blackwell GPUs that takes all the guesswork out of wondering if you&#8217;ve clicked things in properly.<\/p>\n<p>The <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/a-repair-shop-reveals-the-rtx-4090-melting-connector-problem-remains-worryingly-widespread\/\" target=\"_blank\">melting connector problem<\/a> with the RTX 4090 was down to a number of factors: the design of the 12VHPWR socket, the shoddy quality of some adapter cables, and the fact that it wasn&#8217;t easy to tell if you had the cable fully inserted. With the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/nvidia-announces-the-rtx-50-series-led-by-the-usd1-999-rtx-5090-with-twice-the-performance-of-the-4090\/\">RTX 5090<\/a> using up to 150 W more power than the RTX 4090, concerns of a repeat of meltgate are more than understandable.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there&#8217;s good news on that front. First of all, all of the new RTX 50-series cards use the revised 12V-2&#215;6 connector, which has adjusted pin lengths to ensure that the GPU can only draw full power if the cable is pushed all the way into the socket. But if that&#8217;s not enough for you, then you might want to take a nosey at what MSI&#8217;s offering with its new Blackwell graphics cards (via <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/videocardz.com\/newz\/msi-to-bundle-yellow-tipped-16-pin-power-adapters-with-geforce-rtx-5070ti-5080-5090-series\" target=\"_blank\">Videocardz<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Its <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msi.com\/Graphics-Card\/GeForce-RTX-5090-32G-VENTUS-3X-OC\/Gallery\" target=\"_blank\">RTX 5090<\/a>, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msi.com\/Graphics-Card\/GeForce-RTX-5080-16G-GAMING-TRIO-OC\/Gallery\" target=\"_blank\">RTX 5080<\/a>, and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msi.com\/Graphics-Card\/GeForce-RTX-5070-Ti-16G-GAMING-TRIO-OC-PLUS\/Gallery\" target=\"_blank\">RTX 5070 Ti<\/a> cards all come with adapter cables (8-pin sockets to a 12V-2&#215;6 connector) that sport a system that MSI has used before with some of its PSUs. Essentially, the plastic around the 12V-2&#215;6 pins is bright yellow, so if you can see any hint of the colour after you&#8217;ve jammed the cable into the card, you know it&#8217;s not seated correctly.<\/p>\n<p>The <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/nvidias-new-rtx-5070-will-deliver-rtx-4090-performance-at-usd549-when-it-launches-in-february\/\">RTX 5070<\/a> doesn&#8217;t get this feature, presumably because MSI deems that its power consumption (250 W TGP) isn&#8217;t high enough to generate any kind of melty-melty action. On the other hand, the others draw a fair bit more than this, so the yellow plastic is warranted\u2014for reference, the RTX 5070 Ti has a 300 W TGP (total graphics power), the RTX 5080 is 360 W, and the RTX 5090 is a whopping 575 W.<\/p>\n<p>Many of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/msi-has-tweaked-the-notorious-12-pin-gpu-power-cable-so-its-more-obvious-when-its-not-properly-plugged-in\/\">MSI&#8217;s latest PSUs already sport this feature<\/a> on the dedicated 12VHPWR\/12V-2&#215;6 cable so it&#8217;s good that it&#8217;s brought the system across to the adapter cables. Other manufacturers have taken more complex approaches to combating melty-there-goes-$2,000, such as warning lights for an incorrect connection, but I much prefer MSI&#8217;s &#8216;if you can see yellow, it ain&#8217;t gonna be mellow&#8217; simplicity.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s enough to allay fears of pulling almost 50 A of current with an RTX 5090, through such a small connector, is another matter entirely.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"f1c4a93d-0657-422b-b4e3-06fd4a6aaad9\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension48=\"Best CPU for gaming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6YnzywGGRfcnNjLz2FRjx9\" name=\"1646306533.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/if-youre-worried-about-your-rtx-50-series-graphics-card-suffering-another-4090-meltgate-msis-yellow-tipped-adapter-cables-might-just-give-you-peace-of-mind.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-cpu-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"f1c4a93d-0657-422b-b4e3-06fd4a6aaad9\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension48=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best CPU for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Top chips from Intel and AMD.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-motherboards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming motherboard<\/strong><\/a>: The right boards.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-graphics-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best graphics card<\/strong><\/a>: Your perfect pixel-pusher awaits.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-ssd-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best SSD for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Get into the game first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/if-youre-worried-about-your-rtx-50-series-graphics-card-suffering-another-4090-meltgate-msis-yellow-tipped-adapter-cables-might-just-give-you-peace-of-mind\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Other than its vast price tag, one thing that put off many people buying an RTX 4090 graphics card was the fact that it had a tendency to melt its power cable if not fully inserted.
