[The Exiled]

Even after multiple guides and videos of how to plug the connector properly, there are still cases of cable melting showing up in various tech forums and Reddit every day. When these cases were initially reported, CableMod was amongst the first manufacturers to offer its own custom cables that were meant to resolve the clearance & bend issues with the 12VHPWR connectors using its own design. However, as with the standard 12VHPWR cables, even CableMod's cables can burn up if they aren't connected properly. The connector was likely not installed properly because of how hard it is to do so. That's the design flaw. We can see that both ends of the connector (the cable and the graphics card) have burn marks but CableMod did talk to the user and it turns out that the card survived and didn't get damaged.
