They Don’t know for sure what the cause is yet, all we know if it’s that version of the driver affecting various models of cards, not just 5000 series
I'm eagerly awaiting a new PC from PCS, helped with the spec from the lovely people on this here forum. I got a 5080 coming with it... I'm getting worried, I take it they'll stress test it with the latest drivers etc... also the power connectors, I hear there is an issue with them potentially, but could just be the 5090's. I take it the power connectors used by PCS are like recommended ones, or ones made by 'certified' manufacturers?
I was going to make a new thread but saw this, hope is ok I tag in.

There is only one driver at the moment, so PCS will test with that but there are known issues, it may work fine until you install stuff, there’s nothing PCS can do about that, it’s up to nvidia to release an update.
But PCS will stress test the system fully before shipping it. If you ordered with windows it will come fully set up.
That’s only the 5090s as far as we know, similar thing happened on 4090s
Cables come with the PSU and are certified, assuming you’ve ordered an ATX 3 PSU, if you’ve ordered an ATX 2 PSU it will likely use the adapters that come with the GPU

There's a new Nvidia driver out today - 572.42
Don't think it'll add any power phases to the 5090FE though

Yes, you'll have PCS warranty, whatever level you order, and then manufacturers warranty on top of that.Ok sweet, and I guess worst comes to worst - have warranty etc
I think generally GPU manufacturer warranties tend to be minimum of 3 years.

I know I’m a sample size of 1, but it worked fine for me (as did the older 572.16), and there’s no burning plastic smell…yet.
