Article is a summary of der8auer's video. Measurements show 22A/260 watts – nearly half of the card's power draw – going through a single wire heating it up to 150 °C in an open-air test bench.

Two. Two guys. One of which had cables melting away at casual gaming, the other of which had 150°C reached (and it would go higher over more time) in an open environment.

And even if it's only those two, that's two too many.

Edit: Original video in English
