I have seen other burned 12Vx2-6 cables and GPUs, but never thought this could happen to me as I had undervolted my GPU, always very careful with the connector at the GPU/PSU and have what I thought was the best MSI Power Supply possible, but to my surprise it did happen to me. In case it helps anyone the first systems was when starting a game my screen would go black, and although I had sound of the game it was not displaying my game, and I thought maybe it was a bad CPU or RAM tuning/OC, but no, it was my cable and PSU burning. I restarted my PC and game worked, but it was too late and stopped playing. The next day I tried to play again and same behavior, that is when I decided to check my GPU and PSU connection and to my surprise, a burned cable on GPU side, and really burned at the PSU end. My heart sunk thinking my watercooled 5090 FE that I have been running for 1+ years was ruined, but to my surprise the GPU socket was intact, thankfully.

I have contacted MSI, and I RMA my MSI MEG Ai1600T Power Supply, and I am waiting for an answer if they will repair or send me a new one. I am very skeptical now and I am thinking of getting the Ai1600TS with GPU Safeguard and may get the Thermal Grizzly Wireview Pro II Wired as I have a 5090 FE.

Be careful, and protect your hardware, it can happen to anyone.

Hello all! Thanks for all your posts, it has been very helpful to MOD my RHO. I traded in my 2021 Rebel and really loving this truck, it’s the best I have had so far. Only 3500 miles so far. MODs I have done so far:

1. Added hood and side decals
2. Added M&R PRO light Bar
3. Added Ram Bar
4. Added Retrac PRO MX, Bed Rails, foot step
5. Switched my OEM wheels for Black Beadlocks. Using Gorilla black lugs.
6. Added 1.5” Bora spacers on all 4 wheels
7. Added Rhino Badge on sides and tail
8. Added Weathertech mudflaps
9. Added front tow covers
10. Tinted front windows
11. Ceramic Coating (did myself at home using Adam’s)

Have several things I plan to do, but not immediately.

Hi all, I am looking for your help to please stabilize a CL26 6400 2133 profile. I am using a Gskill CL26 6000 32GB Expo Kit, 9950X3D and X870e Godlike MB. I am sure I may be doing something wrong, but would really like to achieve CL26 6400.

Another question, when one is trying to achieve certain RAM Timings, should one default the CPU Undervolting/Overclocking of Curve Optimizer and Curve Shaper? I assume yes and than once stable UV/OC CPU?

Thank you in advance for the guidance.
