No. Not Again looks at a period of notable hardware drama surrounding high power graphics cards and the risks of the 12VHPWR connector. The video opens with a pop culture analogy about omelets and quickly pivots to reports about RTX 5090 power cables melting, noting that two separate incidents have surfaced. The hosts discuss the provenance of the melting cables, including a third party cable used on one side of a setup and a cable that came with a power supply on another, and they point out the conflicting details that complicate a simple cause-and-effect conclusion. They reference guidance from industry pros to avoid third‑party cables or extenders for the RTX 50 Series, yet emphasize that this issue echoes a prior 2022 incident with the 4090 cables. The discussion then broadens to Zotac's marketing response, announcing a Discord-based program to give lucky PC builders a chance to obtain a GPU directly, and the hosts mix in light commentary about launches such as the RTX 570 Ti and Intel Arrow Lake laptop chips. In the mid‑section, the video shifts toward quick bites including OpenAI reportedly designing its own AI chips and a PlayStation outage compensation story, alongside practical tips and jokes that keep the pace brisk. The segment concludes with a wink at meme culture around tech hype and a tease for more updates on Wednesday, while maintaining a balanced tone that blends skepticism with humor about the hardware supply chain and product safety concerns.
