well nvidia doest give the cable to psus, just splitter
and splitter will have the same issues, there were burned official splitters two years ago with 4090s
and somehow 3090ti weren’t burning

as per oc3d tv - less resistance, less wattage, less heat. <- only one to test FE cable.
your image is from 4090, those were due to not being inserted fully, and not load distribution, that is a new issue appearing with 5090 3rd party cables.
there’s barely any stock of 5090, people buy new power supplies to handle 600W card, so barely noone is using funny nvidia adapter with it.
used FE cable included with the FE card from nvidia, cable cold to the touch, 530w. like oc3d tv's results.
im not arguing 5090 doesnt have issues, but i am arguing the stock FE cable seems to address it. FE manual and pdf says 3 times on 3 pages to not use 3rd party.
im an SFF builder, i dont want to use 5ft additional cable, but i will if it works.
I say this simply so you can be aware/safe, or aware of a recall if it happens and be made whole

I know these are expensive and a pain to get, and I have no desire to rain on the joy of snagging one ): Just want you to be safe
they say it's all cables but literally no one tests the stock FE with four 8-pins except oc3d tv - less resistance, less wattage, less heat

huge oversight!
