Power connector Memes

That moment when your non-tech friend sees a 24-pin ATX power connector on the wall and thinks it's where you plug in your graphics card. Sure buddy, just jam your RTX 4090 right into that Bose speaker outlet—I'm sure your electric bill will only triple instead of burning down the entire neighborhood. Next they'll be asking if the ethernet port is for charging their iPhone.

When your $4,000 graphics card has a reputation for spontaneously combusting, Amazon's got your back with the perfect combo deal! Nothing says "I trust my hardware" like having a smoke detector ready to alert you when your gaming rig decides to cosplay as a bonfire. The 12VHPWR connector on RTX 4090s had one job: deliver power without melting. Spoiler alert: it failed spectacularly. At this point, just skip the middleman and hook your PC directly to the fire department.
