    AFAIK it can handle all the power totally fine - it’s just very easy to partially connect instead of fully.

      I guess one could make the argument that if it’s so tightly within spec that minor errors can cause catastrophic failure, it can’t really handle it.

      But it can also be said that this is just user error being reported as “Nvidia bad” because this farms clicks and up votes.

        It’s not about how tight the spec is - it’s about how poorly designed the connector is if it is easy to partially connect.

        You can have very tight specs and not be failure prone.

          If a partial connection, a very common event, is not problematic with other GPUs but very problematic with this one - yes, it’s correct to affirm being so tightly within spec is a problem, as deviations in real world usage are more than expected.

            It’s not that common with previous connectors though. They snapped in and without a full connection did not work.
