Article is a summary of der8auer's video. Measurements show 22A/260 watts – nearly half of the card's power draw – going through a single wire heating it up to 150 °C in an open-air test bench.

Than as the other user said, bad device….. it’s not the andapter unless it’s faulty or you damaged it. Using non approved custom cables falls into the user error area. If this was actually a design issue, this would be affecting far more cards and official adapters.

No they aren’t. Mines plugged in with the one that comes from Nvidia. You can buy other brands, which is what causes most of these issues. Nvidia says not to use them for reasons…

No Nvidia is a proprietary adapter, using someone else’s would make it custom.
