12VHPWR Power Connector Issues: Design Flaw or Coincidence?
2025-02-10
The 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6 power connectors, designed to simplify power delivery to high-end GPUs, are primarily used by Nvidia. Recent reports of melted 12VHPWR connectors involve third-party cables, not Nvidia's own adapters. Whether this points to a design flaw, cable quality issues, or is simply coincidental remains unclear. Nvidia has yet to comment.
