I just found out that NV will void warranties if they use a "3rd party" solution. Wut???
How does this help the situation? What are people suppose to do if they notice that they cannot use the included adapter? What in the world is going on here?
So, I am to assume that if someone is using a Cablemod cable right now they are out of warranty if they need assistance?

Technically wouldn't one of these connectors from a pcie3 spec psu also be considered third party? Just standard bs if anything.

Correct, current PCIe to 12VHPWR connector are "adapters". The only way the cable is not an adapter is if you are using a ATX 3.0 PSU offering Gen5 ports allowing you to connect a 12VHPWR cable to a 12VHPWR connector on the GPU.

Who gives a crap, Intel and AMD voids your cpu warranty if you overclock or don't use jedec ram and Nvidia voids your warranty if you use aftermarket cables. Neither can be proven, it's legal crap that means nothing
Basically nothing in my pc has any warranty anymore, has that ever stopped me from getting stuff replaced? Never

Yeah I have a gut feeling this problem is going to be more widespread than first considered...this is why you do not early adopt tech

Meant atx 3.0
Technically that would be considered third party since its not the nvidia adapter. At least according to their legal spiel which isnt worth the paper its printed on.
Getting close to the dodgy 2080ti cards, gathering steam to go in that direction at least.

Surely people did weeks of research and saw lots of reviews so they all knew about the power problems before they bought one? I wouldn't even buy headphones without researching them for a month.

I recall r/AMD being so useless when I asked for help 4 times within 1 year for help with the 5700-XT sadly both sides are rammed with rabid fangirls and mods not wanting the brand to be upheld to any standards.
Reddit is a dump also full of children and so called know-it-alls.
Short cut thinkers, egomaniacs and retards, "If it is not happening to me it's a user error or it's some FBI agent from the competitor".

You would need to send both the melted adapter part & melted GPU back so they would know it an aftermarket adapter striaght away

Think you find if a cable or connector that came with a PSU melted and caused any damaged then that would be for the PSU manufacturer to pay out for..
