There's a new report about an Nvidia GeForce graphics card causing a power supply cable to melt, but this time it's not a high-end RTX 4090 or RTX 5090 GPU doing the damage but a much more modest RTX 5070. The RTX 5070 melting cable was reported by a Japanese buyer who documented the damage done by the card and cable combination on their X (formerly Twitter) account.
The user shows pictures and video of an RTX 5070 - which is currently Nvidia's best graphics card for those seeking a mid-range card - along with the PC it was installed in, complete with a melted cable. However, while there are still reasons to be somewhat concerned about the ongoing troubles with the 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 standard used by these cards, in this instance the fault largely seems to be from user error or a manufacturing error from the Zotac graphics card.
