Gamers Nexus has released their video on the issue:

In short: They couldn't replicate it, no conclusion yet, further testing needed. What's weird is that all their adapter cables are clearly different (better) than the one from "Igor's Lab".

For anyone who doesn’t want to watch the video the key differences that made Gamers Nexus cables better than what Igor showed was GNs cables were 300V rated vs 150V and the solder joints where the cable meets the connector bus bar was higher quality.

Different suppliers? Igor is EU and Gamers Nexus is American so perhaps different adapters for different regions?

Someone in /r/nvidia in the US got one similar to the Ignor one, so it isn't clear if it will be regional or not.

If so, that seems like perhaps it was an early revision that was corrected. Which is problematic because the situation was not fully handled.
