Like so many people before me i was also unlucky or not careful and the power connector with the cable partialy melted. The good thing is that the card still works so I hope it will be a relative cheap fix. The point is that i need to buy a cable also and I am lost. My adaptor is currently 12+4 tp 3×8. I found a cable on amazon that looks to be the same as mine but another brand (this one). I also found one that is by 'be quiet' (that) that is also the make of my power supply and it says that is direct from the power supply to the card without any adapter but plug only on one plug on the power supply where my curent cable plugs on 2 pcie with 4 "ends" that leaves one hanging. So idont khow if the one direct cable would be enough. I also found an adaptor that I think would work with my cables (here) Any help or advice would be very welcome as i am clearly out of my depth here. Thank a lot
