The video card was bought by my colleague less than two weeks ago. The warranty service refused to repair.
A fellow miner with experience, but late noticed a problem with overheating of the power connector.
I do not recommend video cards with this 12 pin connector, as if it was invented against mining.
Was this having a 2 x 6 PCIE-x connectors or a single 12 pin connectors as most likely 2 x 6 PCIE-x connectors should somewhat not make the card overheat,for Rtx 4080 is the first time I am seeing this and I guess this is plain bad luck because I have not seen this en mass like I used to see a lot of complaints for the 4090 card which of course with that power consumption was going to overheat a lot and it was for me a bad design from Nvidia but for 4080 first time I am hearing here,maybe not a lot of people have bought these cards yet.
By the way was your colleague using such recommended cable as per Nvidia specs as from what I see there they wanted a "3x PCIe 8-pin cables (adapter in box) OR
450 W or greater PCIe Gen 5 cable"
