is the new 12VHPWR connector actually good?

[Velma7311]

Aside from the 600W requirement and the whole melting thing, are these connectors even good?

Yep, it serves the purpose well, and there is no more melting/burning issue.

Approaching a year with my 4090FE and Seasonic HPWR cable. No problems at all.

Have there been any issues with the 12vhwr connector on cards lower than the 4090? I'm considering a 4070 TiS for my new build but am worried about the connector potentially melting.

I've been using the Nvidia adapter that came with my Strix 4090 for over a year without any issues.
