So this is acknowledgement from a power supply developer that yes indeed these cables are not fit for use. Nvidia has left the room.

Nvidia created a problem that everyone has to deal with now. No thank you.

It's modern day business - create a problem that costs consumers money to fix.

PCI-SIG created 12HPWR, Nvidia were just the first to use it on their products.

I thought Nvidia co-developed it.

AFAIK everyone did i.e AMD, Intel etc.... but PCI-SIG ultimately signed off on it.

As far as I am aware, Nvidia pushed for the standard. PCI-SIG did sign it off, so it is their fault too.

That said, Nvidia could easily avoid this problem by ensuring good load balancing. That could be done at a hardware level. Make sure current is evenly split between the cables.
