Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):RTX 5090 overclockers found an extreme way to avoid melting the 16-pin power connector: they removed it entirely. The team soldered the power cables directly to the GPU PCB, bypassing the 16-pin connectors. The modified RTX 5090 booted and ran normally, showing the card can receive power this way. Dont try it at home
