RTX 5090 Bursts Into Flames on First Boot - tech
(hx) 11:27 PM CEST - Apr,21 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
A viral video shows an MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming Trio erupting in bright orange flames and sparks seconds after powering on inside a white RGB PC build. The incident, captured by a Chinese user on BiliBili and widely shared on X, occurred during the card's initial startup with a new 1300W power supply and original cables. Experts point to a likely short circuit in the VRM or VRAM power delivery rather than the 16-pin connector. The GPU was destroyed, though the rest of the system survived with minor soot damage, and the user replaced it with an RTX 5060 that booted normally. As the high-end card lacks official warranty in China, the owner faces a costly loss with no easy RMA.

Devices that draw this amount of power really need a whole new power supply design. Moving from 12 volts to 48 volts would dramatically lower the current required to deliver the watts. The high current is what necessitates big fat cables.

I mean, 500 watts is what *actual smaller air conditioners* use, and running those off 12 volts is challenging. Doable, but still.

So regardless if it didn’t burst into flames and just failed within its 5 years EU warranty, he didn’t have a leg to stand on.

:roll: What idiot buys a card that expensive without a warranty. A Chinese man. As bad as the idiot that spent $3000 on one to be sent soap powder.

Clearly, “made in China” truly means “made in China” :lol:
