It was a cheap power adapter design that was sold by Nvidia that caused the melting, it was nvidias own doing selling a cheap cable on a $1,600 card. Using proprietary interfaces has everything to do with monopolistic behavior and nothing with faulty standards.

12VHPWR is art of the ATX 3.0 standard and not proprietary to nVidia.

The adapter caused the issue not the connector itself, nobody who used power supplies with a native connector had any issues.

I was talking about the SXM interface instead of PCIe
