Currently yes, all the new connectors have this. My only worry is in future, even though the new connectors currently have the shrink rap, if there is no shrink rap it could confuse people.

Thank you . I have updated the OP re this .and pointed out that future designs may be revised without heat shrink and will not effect anything WK39 and above .

Hello gentlemen.
Does anyone here know of somewhere to buy a new power connector for this card? I can replace it myself but I have no idea where to search for spare parts. one of the pins keep getting pushed in, and i see several others that arent properly lined up.
Maybe @GIGA-Man knows something? I live in Poland so i am completely screwed for options.
I've got the Gaming OC, and the power connector is a mess....

Received mine this morning from a different supplier and it had the power connection issue. Thought it would try it in the mean time and one of the pins has been pushed back. What’s the turnaround in these being fixed in the UK?

This connectors are not to be bought anywhere, it needs to go to gigabyte for replacement.

3-4 days depending when do you contact gigabyte

I advise you contact the local office in your region, I know they have recently fixed a few for people on this forum. While I am sure you are more then able to replace it yourself, it would likely void your warranty to do so. Check the contact us section of the GIGABYTE website and select our Polish office for details.

Welcome to the show ..

I would suspect the card you will be getting will be above WK38 on the serial number which would be fixed..you can check once you receive it and then take it from there if its WK38 or below.

Yeah, I very much doubt you will get a card with the old connector. All the ones being made and arriving now have been upgraded.

Some update from Germany, as i removed the cable to get my card working and ask support for updated Version or fix i got feedback this did void my warranty! Well Gigabyte, let's see if this is the right way to treat your customers.
Selling a product which has a failure within the first half year is clearly warranty case unless i didn't do any damage to the product on purpose. There are law's for this. Never ever buy any Gigabyte Product for such a lousy service in Germany.
Did i tell you i'm not in a good mood? :) Quite happy with my x570 Aorus Master MBA but what about a youtube video smashing it?

I think its common sense if you start taking things apart and they break it voids the warranty. If you had a concern about anything you should have contacted Gigabyte. Unlucky i feel sorry for you

you'll likely get it back Friday, unless they repair it today

Mine was dispatched the day they repaired it on an overnight.

Only notification you will get is the courier emailing you to say "it will be delivered tomorrow"
