Made the cables myself in June 2023 and have had no issues until today when my PC black screen abruptly and wouldn't boot. Hours of troubleshooting later and found one of the 8 pin connectors to be melted.

Not gonna lie I’m doing a case swap soon and I got a 4080S with cablemod (full replacement psu cable for my psu) cable and I’ve caught myself thinking about that connector. I typically just run the card out of the box but I did have a period of oc’ing it a little above 3000mhz and pulling its max allowed power.

Me too bruva. Lmao. Lucky the melt point is at the lian li strimer extender and not the gpu itself.
Psu im using is silverstone sfx–l platinum 1000w. Their cable is a fkin nightmare.
Corsair didn’t have 1000w sfx psu back then.
This keeps me up at night.
That problem is still around? Sometimes i think they intentionally made those connectors defective….
“Made the cables myself” and by that you mean connected them yourself? or that you literally produced them 😀 cause damn that thing is disintegrated
Wait, did this happen on your 3080??! I thought this was just a 4080 issue… Fuck because I have a 3080 ti
