The company was praised by many for its quick solution to the problem andthey even had entire orders booked out as soon as the cables were listed forretail & pre-orders.
However, as with the standard 12VHPWR cables, even CableMod's cables canburn up if they aren't connected properly.
It would really have sucked if the card was damaged because the GigabyteGeForce RTX 4090 is a super-expensive card that retails around $2000 US.CableMod was quick to respond to this issue and has asked the customer to reachout to their tech support and that they will make it right with the affecteduser. Furthermore, CableMod says if their cables would've damaged the card,they'd offer a replacement as they have done so in the past (in very rarecases).

Wallossek is one of the 11% working on getting thereplacement.The underlying message that is being placed by several sources is that thequality of the products shipping out to consumers is a problem.
