An RTX 5090 owner has gone to great lengths to prevent any potential melting issues on their RTX 5090 graphics card by modifying the card with a daughterboard that puts the load of the 16-pin connector onto two additional 8-pin connectors on the board. Redditor DallasGrave published their mod on the PCMR subreddit, noting that temperatures on the wires of the 16-pin connector had improved significantly thanks to the mod and never broke 40C.
