Why are some melting? RTX 4090 600W 12VHPWR Adapter Teardown

UPDATE: In light of the excellent investigative video posted by Steve / GamersNexus ([ Ссылка ]), it would appear that this problem is still unresolved and there's more to it than the 14AWG wire solder points in the plug. Steve is asking for more people with these adapters to get in touch with him, and of course NVIDIA is investigating although they haven't made any statements beyond that. Locating more adapters with the 150V rated wires that IgorsLab saw (mine used 300V wires which can be seen at 8m26s) would definitely help. Most are still leaning towards this being a manufacturing issue with the adapters, but what specifically the defect is remains to be seen.
