The 14+2-pin connector soap opera 12VHPWR of the ATX 3.0 standard that NVIDIA uses in its GeForce RTX 4090 graphics seems to continue. After the first burn problems appeared in the connectors of these GPUs and the different causes that could produce them, from a bad insertion of the connector to a supplier that has manufactured a defective series, the subject has not stopped being talked about.
The truth is that it should not be pleasant, for someone who has spent almost 2,000 euros on a graphics card, that it can burn. A user affected by the problem, Lucas Genova, has started a lawsuit Class action representing affected RTX 4090 owners against NVIDIA.
The lawsuit has been filed in a Federal court in California alleging that NVIDIA has sold and announced its RTX 4090 with a faulty and dangerous connector which can leave the card useless and cause electrical and burn damage to its buyers. The lawsuit alleges that NVIDIA has violated various laws that protect consumers in the State of California and at the federal level by launching a defective product, with a high price of premium range and that should never have been for sale in that state. condition.
We will have to wait to see the allegations of the company and the plaintiffs and what decision the judges make on the subject.
