So. Problem wasn't replicatable by other testers according to another article here, but both confirmed melted cables (at least I didn't see any more credible reports) were with Loki PSUs, and that one der8auer used with the weird amp distribution?
Which manufacturer makes those PSUs? I know many vendors just rebrand them. Could it be that it is a manufacturing defect in the PSU, at least in part, that only appears with this particular GPU series for whatever reason? Or did they bork something in the connector board of the GPU? But then, why did nobody else see the same behavior? Is it just a small batch of connectors, or more widespread. Feels like this is getting bigger every day right now.
