Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Things/life got away from me for a while and I ended up sticking with my 9070 in my ITX build and didn't need the FE to fit.
I have 5080 FE BNIB looking to finally get these out of the closet. -$OLD

I am under the understanding that a 5090FE can only see/report total draw and that is limited by its design. Some of the other AIB 5090's (ASUS Astral) have sensors/board design where they can see the draw per pin and display that, but nothing to balance the load. I'm unsure of a 5090 model that...
Whoops, updated image upload directly. Thanks.
It's a simple diagram of the power draw circuitry, you've probably already seen it.
>"so does that mean its the FE cards, the gpu altogether or shitty cables"
The FE cards and the board design. But, worse cables, connectors, connector design...
Yeah, there's at least 1 AIB that will tell you the amp draw per pin (but won't do anything about it, but at least you can check if it's above 10A).
I'm not aware of the other AIB model that does seem to have some sort of load/draw balancing.
Unless the AIB change how the card is handling power...

Here's a beautifully spaced cable drawing 22A (275W) over a single wire..

After only 4 minutes of FURMark 😬
It appears the 5090 FE will suck all power down 1 single wire until it melts due to its power design. It's designed worse than the older 3090 and 4090 and worse than some of the AIB 5090's. It can't even sense the power draw per pin and it will keep attempting to feed itself with no control over...
