If the connectors are on the board, and they melt, it’s on the manufacturer that put them on the board, especially since this happened with the last release.
A $2,000 GPU shouldn’t carry the risk of burning your house down.

I think your comment opened my eyes to my poor reading skills. I was talking about cables not the connector.

Every cable except for Nvidia’s 8 pin octopus cable adapters are third party. That includes the native 12Vhpwr cables that are coming with high end PSUs.
