Well, of course. What can you expect from a Chinese PCB that costs only 2500 USD, right?

Right.

The problem seems to be load balancing, or lack thereof. A German guy on YouTube noticed that his cable got up to 150°C at the PSU end, due to one wire delivering 20 or 22 amps, while the others were getting a lot less pumped through them. 22 Ampere is pretty much half the power draw of the card, through one wire instead of three if the load was properly balanced between them. That’s why it ran so hot and melted to shit.

If you’ve ever worked on your car’s 12 V electrics system, you’ll know how thick the wires (and corresponding connector sizes) are for things like window defrosters that will run through a 20 or 30 amp fuse.

You’re never gonna push the technological envelope with that attitude, bro.

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.

Currently own one, but had to double check.

I’m not 100% sure if it’s the Mk3 or Mk4 dash. Probably Mk4, with the fantastic red on blue color scheme.

It’s a Mk4 ERA dash, circa 1997-2005.

36 Watts idle sounds like a lot for a 5800X3D. I’ll see what my 5700X3D does, never checked that. Not in software and not at the wall.

Brabant.

Is it as bad as GTA Online?

I’m not sure the graph is accurate.

Haven’t played it in a long while, but I remember it to be horrible and enjoyable at the same time.

An electrician isn’t gonna charge a tenner for his time. He’s not your nephew who mows your lawn after school.

1. Because the damage also includes labor and overhead, not just material.
2. We’re not talking about Tesla specifically.
3. Even if the stolen cable was left undamaged, who are you gonna sell it to? The company that owns the charging station?

China is buying themselves control all over the place. Maybe they’re interested.

You’re looking for the word grain.

Desperados III because I somehow can’t seem to get Shadow Gambit started.

I am already doing that, but YouTube doesn’t like uBlock Origin. The browser is not the problem.

Which one
