    If the cable was shipped with the product, the consumer doesn’t have to prove anything. Consumer seems to be from the EU and therefore in the first year of warranty there’s a reversal of burden period where the seller can only reject the claim if they provide proof that there was no product defect with the cable from the start.

    This connector seems like such a nightmare. I don’t understand why GPUs are using it.

      Yeah, with all the stories i keep hearing about it, next time i’m in the market for a GPU, i’m not buying anything that has this connector if i can help it.

      First of all NVidia are morons. Morons who don’t accept their own mistakes and have pushed it on to all other custom design manufacturers since the 50 (or even already 40?) series.

      AMD is also stupid, but not as braindead as NVidia. That’s why there are only a baby’s handful of AMD GPUs with 12VHBRN, while most have 2-3x 8-Pin (75W+300…450W = 375…525W).

      Get one of the latter and a 180° Bridge/WireView. Then you can route your cables just as cleanly.
