I've tested my own 5090FE the same way he did(Furmark for at least 5 minutes at max load, but I actually ran it for 30 minutes just to be mega sure) and with an infrared thermometer the connector is at 45C on the GPU side and 32C on the PSU side. I have no idea what's happening in his video but something is massively wrong, and I don't understand why he didn't just test it with another PSU/cable.

Are you using the splitter that nvidia provided or a 600w cable? Also, what PSU? I've been using mine remotely, so trying to figure out how much I should panic. I'm running off the SF1000 and the cable it came with. Will be a few weeks before I can measure temperatures.

  The new Corsair RM1000x(ATX 3.1 model), with the included 12V-2x6 cable(so just one connector at the PSU and one at the GPU, no adapter).

    Good to know. I guess I'll just hold out hope that things are ok and avoid heavy work loads until I can measure things properly.

More peeking and prodding would definitely have been welcome, but it's still a useful demonstration that the issues around the card's power balancing are not theoretical, and can definitely be the culprit behind the reports.
