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.

    Use a non-Approved custom cable and be shocked when it melts…? Yeah a user using non approved parts makes it a user issue, it’s nothing to do with Nvidia or their pieces…. So what do you think it’s causing it…? Maybe the cables they tell you NOT to use…? If others users don’t use them and don’t have this issue… yeah, that’s a user issue. The user is being dumb and caused the entire issue.

    Don’t you think there is a reason why third party adapters and cables are always said to void warranty…? Because of shit like this, it’s the custom cable, not Nvidias issue with their card or adapter.

    Did he even try the tests without the cables…? Because I’m not seeing that.

      He used a Corsiar cable included with the PSU in the video.
