One of the owners of a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card complained about a melted 16-pin power port. Usually top models of gas pedals face this problem, but it turned out that low-cost graphics cards are not immune to it either. In this case, we are talking about ASUS GeForce GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Megalodon, which got a 12VHPWR connector, even despite its low power consumption of 200W. However, it's not just about the connector, but also about the strange adapter that the GPU ![]() Usually 12VHPWR has a 12+4 pin configuration, but in the case of this graphics card, the connector was missing the extra four pins that ensure proper connection. The lack of these pins may have been the cause of the meltdown. |
