If you have an RTX 4090 and your power cable starts smoking and burning up where it connects to the card, then this could be the reason why. This has the potential to start a fire, so the takeaway, is to be really careful not to bend the cable too close to the connector and be sure as possible that there's no physical damage anywhere. Full explanation in the video.
UPDATE: JayzTwoCents tests the connector under extreme conditions to try and induce failure.
