Der8auer’s video is worth a watch, he got one of the Redditor’s card:
This is huge. A working setup like that leading to >150°C after 4 minutes on those thin cables is insanity!
New gen, same issues. Glad I jumped to AMD this build. No Nvidia product has been worth the cost:performance ratio for me since GTX10 series.
Their power connectors are melting up just like their stock.
Exactly. In a sence that it happened once, wasn’t really significant, but people making it out to be some kind of catastrophe instead of a pretty regular not very newsworthy event

How is it clickbait when there’s literally pictures of the melted connectors in the article?

Every cable except for Nvidia’s 8 pin octopus cable adapters are third party. That includes the native 12Vhpwr/12V-2x6 cables that are coming with high end PSUs. The actual connectors are all made by either Amphenol or Molex anyway.

If the connectors are on the board, and they melt, it’s on the manufacturer that put them on the board, especially since this happened with the last release.
A $2,000 GPU shouldn’t carry the risk of burning your house down.
I think your comment opened my eyes to my poor reading skills. I was talking about cables not the connector.
