Hi,
I was wondering how much heat the following cable can resist (direct contact with the GPU backplate)
www.thermaltake.com
Operating temperature in specifications show -20 to +80 degrees celcius in specs.. but it doesn't specify if this is direct contact temperature/air temperature.
I contacted Thermaltake through support but they haven't replied so far.. (been 1-2 weeks now)
I've noticed my GPU hotspot sometimes exceeding that temperature (around 86 degrees) and my pcie cable is right behind the hotspot.
It's probably difficult to get some closure on this, but i'm fairly certain a lot of other people have a similar situation like me.
I've been running this setup for around a week now, there are some slight wear marks on the contact area's but this looks more like friction marks imho. (no melting by the looks of it)
Some pictures:
Aproximate area where the cable touches the backplate:
