I saw this picture while looking at overclocking guides and I wondered if I may have my power setup incorrectly. My GPU is currently connected exactly like the don’t do this diagram.

I knew GPUs had gotten bigger but then I built an all new PC, upgrading from a 2080 to a 4090.
Holy shit. That thing is fucking huge, man. I was literally stunned pulling it out of the box. Just set it down and stared at it for awhile trying to process technological progress. It’s like 8 times the size of the GPU I had in 2006.
As I type this I"m in the process of building a new computer, going from a GTX-1080 to an RX7900GRE, and it’s relatively small, I got a 2-fan Asrock Challenger one and while it’s bigger than the 1080 it’s not as big as some I’ve handled. It’s amazing how they managed to pack the 1080 into such a small package. I guess the blower fan helps.
I installed another fan into my case just so that monster is not resting solely on the back mount and the PCIE port.
The volume of the PCB should be the same in both GPUs, the difference is that the 4090 has an enormous cooler/heat dissipation.
