None of their cables were melting either, simply because they fucking plugged it in correctly. It's a weird story altogether, not saying what Jayz is reporting isn't happening, but it surely has many symptoms of a good old over-exaggeration, not to say blatantly, a hoax. Edit: like I_Am_Rook kindly pointed, they did succeed in burning cables successfully, i just had not watched all their vids and wasn't up to date on this.

GN literally got a cable to melt on video. They did a deep dive with a QA company and found causes for the 12vhpwr adapter problem.
For the AMD card issue, they either just don’t have the time, the interest, or they legit just have no routes for doing a deeper investigation. Either way, they won’t be saying much about this one.
