In the realm of AMD gaming graphics cards, the 12V-2x6 16-pin power connector is exclusively employed on the ASRock and Sapphire RX 9070 XT models. However, there has been a recent uptick in incidents involving connector burnout. In August of this year, the ASRock RX 9070 XT Taichi graphics card became the first to report a case of connector burnout, with distinct signs of pin melting. Shortly thereafter, similar malfunctions were observed on the Sapphire RX 9070 XT NITRO+ graphics card, where up to five pins sustained damage. User reports reveal that even when equipped with high-end power supplies and foolproof setups, such problems remain difficult to entirely prevent. An in-depth analysis points to potential flaws in the connector's design or materials as the main culprit, with ongoing issues related to load distribution, contact reliability, and thermal management.
