Shows a pic of their cable with a fucking 90 degree bend right at the connector.

The connector and cable are too damn small to run without some sort of current balancing. The cards that run close to the max spec for the cable have no way of determining or adjusting how much is drawn from each pin. It just takes what it needs, and the power goes down the path of least resistance.
This whole debacle is so bad that I’m not sure doubling up on cables would help without balancing out the flow the card draws.
I don’t know if the standard needs to be abandoned or just have balancing as a mandatory part of it to be used.
People just really wanted that clean, slim cable.
My 3 8 pin connectors on my 7900xtx are a bit bulky, but I’ve not had any smells or burnt cables, even with an oc/uv
TLDR; lazy cheap design causes consistent damage and failure where othet designs have none.
