Does Rog Lokis molted rtx 5000 gpu 12vhpwr cable

Hardware Setup:

ASUS 5080 GPU

ROG Loki PSU

Issue Observed:

During normal use, the ROG Astroloji on the 5080 GPU flashed a red light, indicating a pin wasn’t seated properly—even though both the GPU and CPU cables were connected correctly.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

Turned off the PC and reconnected the cable.

On restart, the warning disappeared, but the monitor’s resolution and refresh rate dropped.

The GPU reported being switched to PCIe x3 mode.

After a full shutdown and re-plugging all cables, it was discovered that the cable on the PSU side had melted (the GPU side remained unaffected).
