well done on getting hold of one (y)you lot in the EU have been treated good today with drops and Nvidia seem to have forgotten our little UK island as not had any FE drops since release day :rolleyes: i had cards from France and Italy in my basket today but as its locked down to each country just cancelled the orders ....

It works i also Could Backup my Bios

Text Number Screenshot Font Technology


So now we need a Guy with Balls of Adamantium to flash the Astral OC Bios to his non Astral Card :ROFLMAO:

Der8auer got the gpu and cable with one wire that melted.

He took a proper power cable fully inserted in a different 5090FE and it shown critical behavior on wires.

I don't really see the point of the jibber-jabber.

There is no risk to be honest.

If there is a 2 bios you can always flash broken one with a working one in theory there were some nvflash codes for bios selection but never tried :p

I Know my Card has Quiet and Performance Bios but i am a little Rabbit in this sitiuation :LOL: Because im so happy to get a 5090 and i want to **** it up right now

But even when i want to try it we dont have any Astral OC oder Suprime OC Bios right now

There is 4 different bios on asus folder. And they are 1868kb. Maybe it is different for this gen.

New Nvflash works, I just backed up my 5080 TUF OC vBIOS.

It's version 5.867.0

Yes, it also worked with my Suprim Liquid and I was able to make a copy of my BIOS.

Normally, if you flash a BIOS and it doesn't show a display with the 5090 still in, you can put in a second video card for a display, then user the nvflash flag that picks which of the two video card you are flashing, then flash your working backed up BIOS back to the 5090. nvflash should detect both cards even if the 5090 shows no display.

I think I still have a thread on overclock.net exactly how to do that.

You DID back up your BIOS, right?

That's crazy, as I pointed out in my previous post the GN test showed that melting point is twice that (the connector).

He could mean that the wire itself being 130°C, technically the only points that get that warm are the pins themselves, not the actual wire in between the two connectors, as they get effectively cooled by the the ambient air and use up a lot of surface area (don't sit in a hotspot, which would be the connector housing). But when we say "wire" we obviously mean the pin and the wire closest to it, maybe 5mm outside the housing included?

"Spec" means nothing here, we exceed specs by definition when overclocking, it's all about knowing the real tolerances, it's completely fine running 17g as long as there's load balancing and the pins are bigger than what we have in the 12VHPWR connector.

Again, what I mentioned above, technically if the wire itself was that hot, yes you wouldn't be able to hold it, here's a good example, if you've ever touched your heatsink of your graphics card, when the GPU core is around 80°C, it's so hot that you can't touch it for more than a second, and that's only 70-80°C, like 80°C is a lot for "us" humans with skin, but not for materials used in computers, it's basically nothing.

Huh? So he didn't even watch the video, what a clown 🤡

"And I've tested a lot." Sorry but testing a lot doesn't mean anything, if you don't understand what you're doing, anyone can sit down and test tech by just repeating benchmarks, it's about how you present it afterwards that matter, and if you even end up with accurate results in the first place.

If anything the PSU side should always get hotter because it's enclosed, the fan (airflow) won't reach the front of the PCB (facing outwards with the connectors), also I highly doubt he tested the 12VHPWR connector specifically, as that's still very new and isn't what matters when testing power supplies. On top of that if you'd test a power supply (and the 12VHPWR) you'd always use new cables, the one that came from the box presumably. So wouldn't run into poor worn-down pin connections, which is exactly what is leading to this problem because of the lack of load balancing.

What 5090 model? What cable? What power supply? Y-adapter? 16-to-16-pin? What a useless piece of information, and this is the person bragging about testing "a lot of power supplies", can't even mention basic information. Also, congratulations on using a brand new cable, good pin contact, possibly even using the adapter because he didn't comment on it.

He couldn't even spell your username correctly 🤦‍♂️ Also I don't know about "smart", I don't consider anyone smart in the mainstream tech industry, just have access to tools and make a few videos and you get a lot of "reputation". Experience does not equal smart. Smart is being talented, I have seen next to no "talent" out there. At least we now know for certain that Jon Gerow is not one of the smart ones.

Wow.

How can this guy be for real? He's saying to move the 12VHPWR cable to a different connector on the PSU.. when it only has 1. 🤡

Dude.. his whole post was "too quick and dirty". Insults, incorrect information, poorly communicated.

No, Jon doesn't understand what we're even doing.. the whole point is that there is a load balancing issue in the NVIDIA design, that literally cause connectors and cables to melt, replacing the cable won't change anything, it'll just mean that your current temperatures will be lower, but it'll happen again once this new cable gets worn down in the same way.

Who's in uproar? r/NVIDIA? Who cares.. you can't buy the cards anyway so it doesn't impact anyone 😂 But seriously, if only they knew about the lack of load balancing / current distribution, and that there literally is no fix, many FE cards will burn before the RTX 60 series is out with a "fix", people aren't nearly as upset as they should. I go more into detail on it in my previous post.

He has no clue what's going on.. it's not the connector, it's not the cable, if NVIDIA had not removed load balancing it wouldn't melt, we literally have a ton of information right now and should be making informed guesses, which we are. It makes perfect sense about the lack of load balancing because NVIDIA moved to one connector, which BZ went into detail on, that's by far the most credible explanation, combine that with the GN testing on the 4090 where he intentionally melted the connector, combining all of the information, everything fits together, no one has provided any alternative theories so far, it's by far the most logical explanation.

2 Connectors (load balanced between the two connectors), 1 Wire each minimum on each connector = 263W max per pin
1 Connector (no load balance between the 6x 12V wires), 1 Wire minimum on the connector = 600W max per pin,
this is what causes it to melt. 5 pins with poor connection and 1 with good connection, all 600W want to go through the single good connection pin.

Sorry but he knows more about this than you. You are the only clown here.
