How do you explain how these users who are incompetent to insert a connector correctly manage to do so with at least half a dozen other connectors and probably have done so with dozens if not hundreds of connectors?

THE ADPTERS HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONNECTORS.
ONLY ONE TYPE HAS A MELTING MEGATHREAD.
Users are only having catastrophic "errors" on one type of connector.

doesnt buying HALO product from Nvidia means you are a beta tester by default?
Nvidia likes to push the boat out with their top line sku - you are basically beta testing some new technology or power design or card design for them.
GN said ALL connector can melt and they melted multiples from different suppliers.
Anyway you believe what you want. That’s ok.
Reddit is the truth factory…

Go watch that GN video please before you throw your bath water out.

I'm sure all connectors *can* melt. They are made of plastic after all.
That doesn't change the fact that there is only a megathread for one specific type of connector.
One connector is clearly more prone to "error" than the other.

GN melted both types of connectors not just one. Seriously just watch the video. It’s very FACT based. Unlike the speculation and hyperbole we have been fed over the last few weeks by the self styled “experts”.
Any issues you can point out from previous halo product releases?
So paying such a premium I should be expecting to be a beta tester?

Yet only one type is melting in the field with "users". You are making my point for me.
End users seem to manage not to err other connectors with the same catastrophic results as the 12VHPWR.

Pushing power usages to the extreme
In turn pushing thermal designs to the limits
New VDDRs
New power pins
Well i am just relaying what that video says really, and many others.
More of one type than the other it is just probability. If you got loads more of something with a 0.1% of that happening materialise more doesn’t mean the other doesn’t have the same probability.
It is illogical to think melting doesn’t affect all connectors especially been proven to be so.
Even with GN testing of the leaf spring connector extensively, it didn’t melt till it wasn’t properly seated.
Anyway, it is very clear the primary mechanism is improper seating of the connector resulting in the melting. There is even a smoking gun in that video showing the scorching mark at the tip of the metal pin which can only happen if the connector is improperly seating and bending causing the tip to be in contact. This mechanism affects both connector types
Don't they do testing ? And pay for the best minds ?
Testing 20-100 cards vs 10s thousands in the field
Which one do you think will yield more issues…just saying man.
Even the best mind in the world can make mistakes.
Sorry for being unforgiving when increasing price every generation I don't want to be dealing with issues like this and don't get me started why we still have to deal with the lottery of coil whine

How do the "many others" explain how these users who are incompetent to insert a connector correctly manage to do so with at least half a dozen other connectors and probably have done so with dozens if not hundreds of connectors?
It's not a trivial question. It's key to whether or not it's user error at fault. As far as I know, nobody has even tried to answer it.
Imagine a scenario in which one specific model of tumble dryer catches fire far more often than is average for tumble dryers. Just that one specific model. People who have used numerous other models of tumble dryer without any issues still have this one specific model of tumble dryer catching fire on them. Would you conclude that must be user error? Even for users who make no errors with numerous other models of tumble dryer?
GN melted both Astron and NTK connectors. If you're seeing more reports of Astron connectors melting it's simply because there are more of them out there, they are Nvidia's preferred source partner and NTK is only used when Astron is out of stock and another possibility is that the Astron connector is designed in a way that makes it more prone to user error - that's it, Steve debunked all of Igor's useless theories

Nvidia doesn’t really care about your experience…all they care is how much they can sell and their “PR”. The customer feedback or whatever is the result of the money they make. They probably got higher IQ spin doctors than engineers/coders.
Well they done plenty of testing, and there conclusion is its user error, and from what i got from that video, i agree, it is probably the end user not inserting the adapter correctly, i cant say for sure that they were incompetent thou.
Well they can shove it where the sun doesn't shine I ain't buying anything anyway unless they one day have something at value around £700 mark
