Not even first batch as far as this connector goes. This has been an issue ever since this connector was released on the 40 series cards in 2022.
The sensible thing would’ve been to just rollback to the standard 8-pin PCIe power connector that has been reliable for many years. I guess requiring 4 of these for 600 watts would highlight how ridiculous the power draw of the 5090 is.
Instead they made small iterations to this 12VHPWR connector (changing sense pin lengths and other small adjustments) and they’re letting their paying customers test the new iteration with the 50 series.
Admit that 12VHPWR is bullshit and revert to 8-pin. Come up with a working solution or just stick with 8-pin long-term.

I like the way you think.
Even two of the 12VHP connectors would be better.
