    The cable melts because the big unifying plate all the 12v pins from the four connectors you gotta plug into it is made out of “foil metal” which is just industry for really thin metal and when it breaks (yes due to bending) the safety sensor pins don’t do shit because they’re detecting a connection to each gpu pigtails ground, not 12v.

    So youhe got a weak connection to high current lines and the sense pins intended to make sure they’re are enough lines plugged in to draw 50a (!) can’t protect you from that situation.
