Maybe not, but the 6\8 pin pcie connectors are tried and tested over 10+ years, as NVidia were saying before launch "it just works". The one they're using on the other hand...clearly needed some more work.

Why are we being racist towards Chinese people all of a sudden?
There are cases where it melted when the card was power limited to 300W

Debauer has a new video up where he runs 900w through one without it melting

'Lying flat': Why some Chinese are putting work second
How young workers in China are challenging social pressures on them to work until they burnout.

‘Lying Flat,’ ‘Antiwork’ And The ‘Great Resignation’ Spreads Worldwide As Young People Protest Against System
There’s a growing worldwide movement led by young people. Weighed down with overwhelming college debt, unable to find decent paying jobs, stuck in low-paying jobs with no future and being forced into the gig economy made Gen-Zs and Millennials feel misled and betrayed by their elders.

I posted saying even prebuilt boutique PC's sometimes have loose connectors and you posted saying there was a word for it and it started in China, I had no idea what you were blathering on about matehow is that racist towards Chinese people?

I said something about minimum wage workers not caring about their jobs doing things half *****, a trend that started in china, I just couldn't remember what it was called "lying flat"
it's not racist it's factually accurate and a good reason why people get poorly built computers sent to them

I wasn't talking about PC's built in China though, the PC's GN review are supposed to be top tier boutique PC's, not just like HP etc.
I wasn't talking abnout people in china either. blocked bye
Because he ran it on an open test bench which does not replicate real world conditions. The cable will be bent inside the case for days on end and the ambient temp inside the case will be much higher than a open test bench.
I don't think a single YouTuber bothered to test the 12VHPWR on a TUF card or a Gigabyte card inside a typical PC case.

No one else mentioned China, you brought it up first
Bending doesn't cause the issue, all the YouTubers have tried to cause it with bending and it makes no difference
If it happens at 300W then that does sound like it's not inserted proeprly

As per Cablemod's testing on their own cables, bending it caused the terminals to become loose. There is literally a warning in red on Cablemod's product page to not bend the cable. Jonnyguru also found East to west bends to cause problems in his testing. There are literally builds on the Nvidia subreddit right now showing horizontal bends on the cables.

Becomes loose yes, but they haven't replicated the melting, and Johnnyguru is the guy saying it's poorly inserted connectors is the problem, unless you have a link to him saying it's bending?

Some of these connoctors seem to have variance / defects
Telling people to just push harder is a bad idea too.

that connector picture must have been posted here about 20 times now.
still no one can say how melted plastic ended up inside the terminal pin thing, when undoubtedly the plastic part is moulded on it's own and the pins inserted after.
so where does the extra plastic come from? the connector doesn't seem like its melted
pins not lining up poor quality QA for certain though, no company should be cutting corners to save 5 cents on something thats bundled with a premium product

Haven't we been through this already? Why did you keep repeating the same silly thing? Have you tried the actual 12vhpwr connectors? They are harder / different to plug properly than an 8pin pcie. I myself would have plugged it wrong if I didn't know about all the reports over reddit.
Soldato
If it requires too much force to plug in, It's defective and/or a bad design.
If it's engineered to within an inch of its life where it requires perfection, both in manufacturing and use, to avoid the catastrophic failures we keep seeing, It's deffective and/or a bad design.
The fact that only one end of this adapter is showing up melted in a megathread is a clue that end-users are not the root-cause of the issue.
