A Gigabyte RTX 5090 user modified the case around the 16-pin cable and still experienced connector damage. Repairing the GPU-side header cost around $90.
It’s hilariously sad how bad the 12vhp standard, the implementation is.
It would make more sense to run a rail through the motherboard, plastic a short slot inline with the pcie slot toward the rear by the ports and power that way. The separate cable thing always felt hacky to me.
