A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Nvidia over a component in its RTX 4090 cards which has been melting for some owners.
The part in questions is believed to be the 12VVHPWR power adadpters, which Nvidia claims it is still investigating the issue, nearly a month after the first cases of melting power adapters were reported by owners.
The lawsuit was filed on 11th November by Lucas Genova to the US District Court for the Northern District of California. It has been filed under “other fraud”, which is defined as “action primarily based on fraud relating to personal property that cannot be classified under any other nature of suit” by the Administrative Office of the US Courts.
