      This is huge. A working setup like that leading to >150°C on those thin cables is insanity!

    New gen, same issues. Glad I jumped to AMD this build. No Nvidia product has been worth the cost:performance ratio for me since GTX10 series.

      How is it clickbait when there’s literally pictures of the melted connectors in the article?

    Their power connectors are melting up just like their stock.
