RTX 5090 Bursts Into Flames on First Boot - tech|
| (hx) 11:27 PM CEST - Apr,21 2026 | | 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.

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. |
