Reminds me of the drama with NVIDIA's new power connectors burning out. Where IIRC it ultimately turned out to only involve a handful of cases where there was a manufacturing issue and the other reported cases were all loose connections by the users.

Thus indicating a design flaw of being prone to user error, but nowhere near the "fire hazard" type comments that were going around at the time (particularly on reddit).

wasn't that an actual fire hazard tho? Gamers Nexus just paid to proved the cause was because users werent connecting them correctly.

Yeah, it's a fire hazard when improperly installed, what I meant is that people were responding as if any nvidia card would just burst into flames even with everything properly connected.
