So people don't know how to plug in computer cables. Got it. 

You don’t see people with melted 8 pin connectors.

Guess they are more easily connected. People need to pay more attention with their expensive hardware.

Yup,  the Connector I installed on my 3090ti before I seated the card in the slot, because it was hard to push, seemed the logical thing to do if I wanted a solid connection , Last night 2 hour MSFS flight pulling 60 more watts than a 4090 and it's always room temperature.

I believe the cable clip mechanism can be improved so consumers can hear an audible 'click' when the cable is properly seated.

Perhaps they should reconsider the design.

Well, 50 (dumb&dumber) users out of 130.000 sold units doesn't approve redesign.

1) 130,000 "units sold" is not a confirmation that they are in the hands of a user.
2) Even 50 is too many for a new product. Dumb and dumber or not, it points at an engineering or implementation issue which they didn't properly safeguard against. We've never seen so many power connections burnt up in such a short time period.

1. If product is nowhere to be found, that means it is not in retailers but users' hand (exception are scalpers unit possession)
2. I wouldn't touch current design as 50 out of 130K is bellow any need to redesign margin. We've never seen so many users trying to stick huge card in a cramped small case without space for safe cable arrangement.
3. Creating a foolproof product is a big challenge as too many people overestimate their creative abilities.

I've been making sure to click connectors in correctly since my MSI Ellipse SLI X58 board had a 24-pin not fully clicked home and burnt out a connector. 

I was hoping that when EVGA dropped GPU manufacturing that they would produce items like this.

Older folks may not have two much since about other things.

I think if you're going to "come back" at some one about young and old and their abilities, use the right word.
Since peoples senses change as they age. I get the sense your statement makes no sense.
I could be wrong though.

Guess EVGA like to spend more time with family

 I just received a CableMod 16-pin to 4 x 8-pin PCI-e black & blue sleeved cable. It's beautiful.
 

Pic or linky to the product would be nice 
 
My 12VHPWR16-pin to 3 x 8-pin PCI-e white is coming on Friday.

@ Nereus
You did a smart move by ordering cable from PSU to a card.
Blue and black looks great.
I ordered extension (will look the same) but need to hide 3 8pin cables after plugging to extension.

I'm dyslexic. I can't see or tell the difference in some words and letters. He knows I'm dyslexic and I told him before, he just want to troll for the sake of trolling.
When you see words like this its hard to get things right.

That must get annoying. I've known 2 people with dyslexia - one was a family friend and an extremely successful businessman (and a talented musician too), and the other was a well respected doctor (specialist in ear, nose & throat). Dyslexia certainly does not reflect poor intelligence.

   CableMod do nice work.
 

Yes, they do!
Bookmarked their site as first choice when looking for this stuff.
And launching angled adapters for 4k cards as first on the web means they are serious company.

Yes I have my eye on those right angle adapters too. A lot of interest out there.

I got my Cablemod Cable for EVGA PSU today, it way nicer than that adapter, just waiting to find a card now...

I ordered my black/white CableMod (native Corsair Type 4) 12VHPWR to 4 x PCIE a month before I got my ASUS TUF 4090 OC to match the CableMod Pro kit I was already using. Skipped the panic heavy demand (once the melting connector issue was raised) and had the cable in my hands a few days before I got the card (week after launch). I also ordered the water block from EK's Web store the same day I got hold of the card and installed it a week ago whereas computer stores in Australia haven't even moved to list them up for preorder.

I got blue and black , I may have to order the Motherboard cable to match, it is the only other one you can see.  I preordered the FE ek block but changed my mind after the reviews to an MSI , supposedly to ship mid month in DEC, hopefully we see a restock  , they are sitting HARD on restocks and even EBAY is about to run out, they may have brought way more out on this launch but NVIDIA is blocking restocks to sell 30 series left overs, kind sucks they are manipulating the market this hard, hope AMD kicks their butt into gear but not holding my breath,,,

Don't forget  the shear number of burnt out 24pin ATX connectors back when tri and quad SLI was a thing.
Its a different demographic that's into PCs today

I burnt out one on an MSI Ellipse X58 board (plug & socket) running 2 x GTX 295's (quad SLI) powered by an Antec Truepower 1000W PSU.
