Digital Storm RTX 5090 prebuilt's power connector melts after a year in storage, owner says

A Tom's Hardware reader, Anthony DeMarco, says the 12V-2x6 power connector on his $5,245 Digital Storm Corsa prebuilt melted weeks after he began using it, despite the PC having sat boxed and unused for roughly a year after purchase. The system, built around an Nvidia RTX 5090 and a 1,000-watt Digital Storm power supply, reportedly suffered the worst damage at the PSU itself, with cables fused into the connector.

PNY denies RTX 5090 warranty claim over melted native PSU cable

A Reddit user reported that his GeForce RTX 5090 stopped working after the 12V-2x6 connectors melted on both ends of the modular cable bundled with his ASRock 1600W power supply. He says the card was running stock BIOS settings with a reduced power limit and was idle when the failure occurred, yet PNY denied his warranty claim within a day, citing use of a non-PNY-approved cable.
