That's a lot of overkill. I'm not sure why you're spending so much when you really didn't need a new PSU, but if it gives you peace of mind, I guess it's worth it.
It's mostly peace of mind. But I also hope that if it's a single cable from the PSU (via 12VHPWR) to the GPU (via 12VHPWR) I eliminate more of the complexities that might cause issues.That's a lot of overkill.

Mine is decently big, it's a meshify 2 xl. It also has a full internal "tower" for mounting up to 10 drives. I've got 5 of them so far.Nice! I have a very old aluminium case, but its super spacious so no card has even been too big - so I've hung onto it.
The air must flow! *cue Dune sound track*
It's going to detonate as soon as you hit the switch.Oh, and forgot to mention about the 4090 and the new power connector, it did not make a click when connecting. Neither with the PSU nor with the graphics card.
And I'm 99% I pushed it all the way in, and no click. At all. And all the manuals are saying wait for a click. None whatsoever.
It already did. It really took off from under me.It's going to detonate as soon as you hit the switch.
That's pretty much my PSU. And had no issues with the single 12vhpwr connector on both ends of the cable. It's the one that came with the PSU.about a month after I purchased the card I picked up a 1600w ATX 3.0, pcie 5.0 power supply with a single power connector but have been to busy playing games to install it. I had actually forgotten about the melting issues until check back in this thread.
Yeah, I'm just the worst at keeping the case tidy. I live in a very dusty town, I think mostly because they got rid of a lot of the vegetation. And it's a real pain in the ass to keep clean.I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you, but I would take a minute to clean out all that dust since you have the case open. Yuck!
I never did anything like that. Register with the company that produces it?Make sure you register both the card and the PSU if you haven't already.
Nope, none. Had I bought it from my country, they seemed to advertise Alan Wake 2 as a gift. But no such offer on amazon.de. Which is fine. I had already bough Alan Wake 2.Did you get any game keys with the card?
Really? You should always register your parts if there's an option to do so. It makes it much easier to RMA something if there's a problem with it. I'll typically register anything that cost more than $200+I never did anything like that. Register with the company that produces it?
I think I heard about the practice, but never found out exactly why you'd do that.
Generally, in my country you report defectives or issues to the store you bought the product from, not to the producer. (if I'm understanding who you register with).Really?

You can return directly to the stores here as well, but registering ensures you won't have a problem if you lose the receipt. Also, store returns generally have a limited time span. Maybe that's the key difference. The stores themselves don't warranty products over here by default.And for that you don't need to do anything extra, except have your purchase receipt.
