According to Tech4Gamers , a shocking report has just been published, revealing the potential risks from the 12V-2x6 power cable on the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. According to the test results, this type of cable can reach temperatures above 150 degrees Celsius when operated under high intensity, raising concerns about the safety and durability of the device.

RTX 5090's Hotter Than Boiling Water Temperature
In a test conducted by tech expert Andreas Schilling, the RTX 5090 card with Inno3D iChill Frostbite water cooling was put to use. However, despite the GPU being cooled effectively, the 12V-2x6 power cable still showed an alarming temperature spike.
Specifically, when the RTX 5090 was operating at 600W power consumption, the 16-pin power connector and cable reached a temperature of over 150°C on the power supply side. This is an extremely dangerous temperature level, which can cause melting and explosion if not controlled by the user.
The overheating of the 12V-2x6 power cable on the RTX 5090 points to a serious design issue. Despite the adoption of the latest ATX 3.1 and PCI-E 5.1 standards, it seems that the improvements are not enough to completely solve the overheating problem.
This is especially worrying since the RTX 5090 is one of the most powerful graphics cards on the market, with high power consumption. Users need to be extremely careful when using this type of card and ensure that the cooling system is working effectively.
