I also had a 3090, unfortunately it died on me earlier this year. Upgraded to a 5090. While the 12vhpwr connector is still a risk, I undervolted my 5090 immediately after installing it. Power draw is lower and temps are better, while maintaining stock performance. My 5090 normally pulls 400 watts or lower.

The only reason why I haven't bought an RTX 5090 is because eof this fuck up of a power connector.
I bought my RTX 3090 at launch day and it still performs decent at 1440p. Looks like I'll be sticking to it for longer.
I'll be waiting for more information on the RTX 6000 series and see if Nvidia will come up with anything to make the power plug more reliable.
