The connectors are 3rd party and have nothing to do with this GPU. If I told you cars were exploding at random and didn’t mention that I poured gasoline on them and lit a match, wouldn’t you call me dishonest?
Every cable except for Nvidia’s 8 pin octopus cable adapters are third party. That includes the native 12Vhpwr/12V-2x6 cables that are coming with high end PSUs. The actual connectors are all made by either Amphenol or Molex anyway.
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.

Makes sense but that title is still misleading.

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