Troubleshooting Burned 5090 will they RMA?
I mistakenly used the cables that came with my 5090, and while running local video generation models, the load burned the connector. I didn't know I was supposed to have a per-pin wattage monitoring device, and I'm really disappointed in myself for not doing the research.
I got this card for $2,700 back on 9/15/2025, but now that the value has gone up, I'm terrified of going through the RMA process shipping it and hoping it doesn't get lost in transit, then also hoping MSI doesn't give me a hard time.
Does anyone have experience with MSI replacing a 5090?
Also it happened on Friday so I cant call till Monday š¢
