Great! Official news! Can all my favorite tech journalists and enthusiasts please move on with this and go back to the good old? I was excited at first, but as this issue is mentioned or highlighted in every article, I've read about "Nvidia" the last two weeks, I'm sure I'm not the only one tired of it. We get it, leave it to the engineers.
That the 4000 series is priced a premium, which has been mentioned extensively seems overshadowed by this adapter news.

All the research points to user error. However, an improved design would help.

The class action will go nowhere, the "manufacturing fault rate" is too low especially when you consider majority is actually user error. 99.96% have been able to plug their cards in.
Calm down and take a breath

So they talk about a problem with a 16 pin connector, then proceed to use a picture of a 12 pin connector as an example.

Now we need someone to test if the le good old 8pin can catch fire if not fitted properly

Something they should do when they redesign the connector is get rid of the sharp corners. I am fed up with stabbing and cutting my fingers on the lego brick design when routing cables. Just round them off, why do they have to be that stupid shape? Its actually more effort to make the corners sharp. Its just a small thing but it's SO stupid, and is a reflection of the kind of dummies that design these things.
And you know, if it really has to be held in securely or it can cause a fire, then just make it so it can be screwed in like a M2 card is, or the old VGA cables. Also, maybe Nvidia could have made a right angle plug so it wasn't a pain to bend it around, causing it to come loose in the first place?
I mean seriously I am so sick of idiots working in jobs they shouldn't be in. It's so stupid I don't even know how it happens. Like no one ever calls them out on it? Multiple people must have worked on and approved it? What the actual F.

All power cables could benefit from short sense pins really, but blaming a part manufacturer for the user not plugging things in properly is not only disingenuous, its removing the responsibility from a user to ensure that their shit is set up properly.
Stop dismissing the responsibility of properly building your own pc.
The only illogical aspect here is the AMD users that have no dog in this race making comments based on zero interaction with the spec.
Nonsense, these same users leave atx and eps plugs barely plugged in all the time, they also leave loose fittings on their custom loop and wonder why they had a leak.
Plastic mold tolerances have had looser and tighter fits depending on AIB and component vendor since the 90's.
