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.

I see the issue. The guy wants to claim him using non-approved cables doesn’t make it a “user issue” what a dumb take.

He didn’t even do a test without a cable and only using the adapter. So he doesn’t even have a base comparison… this is why random people shouldn’t be taken as gospel on shit like this. People latch onto the wrong stuff and run with it.

Use a non-approved cable shocked pikachu face when it inevitably melts….

Don’t you think there is a reason why Nvidia specifies NOT to use custom and non-approved parts…?

Yeah using the wrong parts and being mad that it doesn’t work, is a user error. Also the article blames the cards, the CABLES are at fault. Dudes a shitty journalist and can’t see he caused his own issues. Yeesh.
