Arrr, me hearties! Cast yer minds back to the infamous Nvidia RTX 4090 scorchin’ saga! Now, whispers be flyin’ 'bout the RTX 5090 bein’ a fiery beast too. But I say, 'tis naught but a tale spun from warm wind and a scallywag’s dream! Avast!

Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round, for a tale of woe be brewin' in the realm of Nvidia's latest treasure, the RTX 5090! A handful of scallywags be reportin' that their power cables be overheating and meltin' like the sun on a summer's day, harkening back to the infamous 'Cablegate' of yore with the RTX 4090!

Back then, the cursed contraptions turned to naught but useless lumps of plastic, and now it seems the new beast be followin' suit. But hold yer horses! This time, it seems some blame may rest upon the third-party cables that be causin' such mischief. Aye, one poor soul on Reddit and a Spanish YouTube buccaneer be singin' the same tune—melted cables at both ends, what a sight to see!

Yet fear not, for Nvidia be claimin' their new 12V-2×6 connections be more secure than a treasure chest locked tight. The issue seems less widespread this time, like a quiet sea after a storm. So, if ye be lucky enough to have snagged this powerful beast, be wise and stick to the cables supplied, lest ye find yerself in a fiery predicament!
