Am I reading this corect, that he did the tests exclusively with the aftermarket cable the customer provided? No resistance measurements on the cable itself but he concludes its not the cable because the manufacturer is usually reliable? No different cables for comparison?

I think I will have to watch the video later to get a an idea on the testing method, since what I can gather from the article, the testing setup Was completely useless to determine whats at fault here.

Nope he examined the damaged aftermarket cable to see if it was faulty but found nothing obviously faulty. The heated wire was with his own PSU Gpu and stock cables.
