1500W? At 12V that's 125A - That is fucking dangerous! Most sockets are rated at 20A. Most inverters that are >300W use crocodile clips, or preferably screw-down terminal rings. The cable looks way too thin too. That's a fire waiting to happen....

I've never seen that connector in a car......

Probably because its both a bad connector known for melting, and its meant for very expensive graphics cards

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I have a feeling that the main reason behind the melting is the GPUs drawing way too much power, even at stock speeds.

Not actually in this adapter, but the spirit is the same
