CableMod 12VHPWR adapters keep melting despite correct installation

Today we were talking about the replacement of the 12VHPWR connector, a connector that has brought misfortune to many owners of graphics cards that have it, and that in some cases it has come to damage power supplies, leaving aside that the problem could only be found in the graphics cards.

At the time, as it was believed that part of the problem was the installation, as well as the possible torsion to which the connector was subjected during its installation and permanence in the equipment, Several systems were designed to avoid this problem, one of them being that of CableMod in the form of a rigid adapter that eliminated any torsion.

However, as we read on WCCFTech, there are already instances of CableMod adapters suffering from the same problem, a problem that JayzTwoCents had echoed a little less than two weeks ago, and that seems to have been expanding as the days have gone by, making it clear that it was not a user problem either, but a connector design problem.

This news comes, as we mentioned, the same day that a replacement for this connector is proposed, but we will have to see how the danger that the 12VHPWR connector poses to the components of hundreds of thousands of people today is managed.
