Why do they want your hose to burn down? The power supply connector part should be just simple electronics. With that much power draw you need to design it safely.

The 50xx cards should better be equipped with something like this.

Yeah this connector is a modern disaster. Who tested it as it's one of the worst I've seen in 25+ years of PC building.

That connector design is the kind of stuff you would find in USB cables that are not compliant with even USB 1.1 specs so they either don't work, or could set your phone on fire.

Or no-brand "500W" PSUs that cost $20.

At this rate we can power our GPUs and recharge electric cars with the same cable.

The new USB standard.
