Maybe my mistake was picking the closer, smaller PB branch ahahha

One of my friends managed to order a 9070xt Pulse from PB website yesterday by doing some sort of URL manipulation to get it into his cart.

Shipped yesterday from Auckland and has just been delivered in Wellington

This is the one without the 12 volt high failure connector.

 

 

 

(sorry I had to)

 

Yep was staying away from those ones

I haven't heard anything today.. Hopefully it will be tomorrow  (as per the ETA status on my order).

Guess it must be tomorrow already.

2nd of May... Wow that sucks.

I spied at least another 4-5 Sapphire cards waiting for pick-up... along with a mythical Asus-5090.

Bit of an aside, is it just me or does this look like  "Sapphire Puke" to anyone else? First thing I saw and had to do a double take. 

Anyone planning to sell their old cards? :)

I'm pretty sure that nobody is going to want my 1030Gt.. Thou I think it's the "good" one with DDR5. (2GB)

Tried to get a Pulse 9070XT at 3am from PBTech. Checkout at 3:04am and its saying pick it up in May rofl. Maybe they've presold it all to folks like dustysmurf

 

 

 

 

I got to buy one after it was freed from someone else's cart by 3:30. I just read this...

So, more fake msrp like nvidia.

What a timeline - AMD cards going UP after launch. Things are that bad.

Think I'll just keep the 3080 till it dies - hopefully it lasts to next gen.

May end up selling a 5700 XT or a GTX 1070 once the 9070 XT arrives. More recent cards will just cascade down through the desktops.

Honestly, as a 4090 owner with corsair 12vhpwr cable it’s been fine for the last two+ years. I’ve done my fair share of worrying back then and still check now and then including 12v sensors. A friend is also the same, so a sample size of two but still working without issue.

Edit: unless the radeons have a specific issue of course.

also 4090, but my GPU power draw has been under 350W. i think you have issues when going over 400W for long periods.

linus also did a review of the cables, not all connector cables are made equal. (the bad ones have short or retracting pins)

as mentioned, melting is to do with power draw and/or the pins being too short or some even retract when you push in the plug.

Update on my Sapphire Pulse 9070XT order. Placed at 3am on the dot, pretty annoyed:
