- That's what they made sure to check multiple times. That's the points. It's exactly what not happened, everything was connected correctly
- Every cable is a thid party custom cable. The only exception may be a cable from NVidia themselves, which is only an adapter from 3*8Pin to 12VHPWR - there is literally no first or second party 12VHPWR cable. So what should they use instead - nothing? Wire it up themselves? That would be the only non-third party cable they could have. And in both cases, the cables where very high quality. So no Aliexpress crap.
I see the issue. The guy wants to claim him using non-approved cables doesn’t make it a “user issue” what a dumb take.
He didn’t even do a test without a cable and only using the adapter. So he doesn’t even have a base comparison… this is why random people shouldn’t be taken as gospel on shit like this. People latch onto the wrong stuff and run with it.
Use a non-approved cable shocked pikachu face when it inevitably melts….
Don’t you think there is a reason why Nvidia specifies NOT to use custom and non-approved parts…?
Yeah using the wrong parts and being mad that it doesn’t work, is a user error. Also the article blames the cards, the CABLES are at fault. Dudes a shitty journalist and can’t see he caused his own issues. Yeesh.
Than as the other user said, bad device….. it’s not the andapter unless it’s faulty or you damaged it. Using non approved custom cables falls into the user error area. If this was actually a design issue, this would be affecting far more cards and official adapters.
No they aren’t. Mines plugged in with the one that comes from Nvidia. You can buy other brands, which is what causes most of these issues. Nvidia says not to use them for reasons…
No Nvidia is a proprietary adapter, using someone else’s would make it custom.
