The fire-hazardous 12VHPWR connector of the first version, as it turns out, is found even on the new GeForce RTX 40 Super video cards

But usually this is a problem only for RTX 4090

It seems that Nvidia video cards with the old version of the 12VHPWR power connector are still entering the market.  

Network user X under the pseudonym @wxnod published photos of the H+ 12VHPWR (old version) and H++ 12V-2X6 (new version) connectors. He added that some GeForce RTX 40 Super video cards, which were released quite recently, are still equipped with the old type of connector.

Nvidia will change the fire-hazardous power connector 12VHPWR? for the fourth time The new one may debut on GeForce RTX 50 video cards

Recall that at one time the 12VHPWR connector led to the failure of many video cards, and even now news periodically appears that even with updated connectors, and Nvidia has made changes three times already, cards sometimes fail.

Minimal progress. GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super turned out to be faster than GeForce RTX 4070 Ti by only 8% – this is evidenced by 3DMark tests

However, it is worth remembering that this is almost always the RTX 4090, so, apparently, owners of the new RTX 40 Super should not worry too much. 

@wxnod previously published photos of various Nvidia cards, including the RTX 4090 before its announcement, and also shared information about the release of Intel Raptor Lake Refresh processors.
