October 30, 20223 yr Author Gamers Nexus did some testing showing 300v wires instead of 150v wires on Igor connector.
November 1, 20223 yr The "issue" is trying to pull 600 watts through a small 12 pin connector. I can see why they want to reduce the connector footprint on these high-wattage cards, but that connector is to carry 9.2 amps per pin, with a reduced pin to pin separation. So even if they design a right-angle connector and do better than typical QA it still seems to be an area of concern. scott s. .

Its the damage that occurs to the soldered connection between foil busbar and cable. Manipulation can weaken the soldered joint. Likely scenario is a weakened thus thinner connection and thus heat generated. Its only occurring with a small number of the adapters, not the dedicated cable it seems.

November 17, 20223 yr Finally someone melted and several cables. Any cable can be melted. It is a mixture of bad design and user failure. Edited November 17, 20223 yr by Japo32 Javier Rollon. Owner of JRollon Planes for Xplane
