NVIDIA 16-Pin “12VHPWR” Connector Updates: JonnyGuru Recommends Users To Check Connection, PCI-SIG Working on Revision

1.

First, the Corsair PSU expert uses a Corsair HX1500i, utilizing three PCIe cables connected to NVIDIA's 16-pin "12VHPWR" adapter. Included in the testing is a thermistor to monitor temperatures and tie around the wires to ensure that the cables would not bend as much. To initiate the problem, he began damaging the connectors, especially the durability of the joints that were soldered on the connection. Everything was still in place after that test, and the temperature remained as high as 53°C.

Next, he researched all known cases of melted and warped connections, reviewing each published picture & comparing undamaged connections to ones that were part of the melting & overheating issues. Recognizing similarities across all manufacturers, he came to a single conclusion.

3.
ANY 12VHPWR connector can potentially burn up because ANY of them can be hard to insert.

... VERY DIFFICULT to insert completely.

The PSU expert for Corsair noticed that it was not fully connected to the GPU in images where the cable or connection was damaged. He does recommend that users who own the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card and are worried that the same might happen to them to use dielectric grease (around four dollars on Amazon) — a minimal amount — to the power connector.
