@ignaloidas @phenidone the 3090 and prior manage this fine by balancing across split high side power domains - if one leg is compromised it won't boot, and you don't get massive imbalances. the Asus ROG 4-series cards added per line shunts to detect bad connections (they were required to use nvidia's single combined high side design so this was the next best thing) and warn the user / refuse to power on to protect against the issue. we have the capability to be safe. nvidia just didn't do it.
