Always have been.
Many power adapters that convert an older standard to a newer suffer problems. Either because
1. The wire gage is insufficient
2. The connector resistance too high
3. Power on that rail too low
Looking at the pictures I’d guess it’s number two here. What happens with some 4090s, just much easier to repair in this case.
Yes, we know.
