I've said this when the original spec was released, it's a bad design and a bad spec. 600W of total power on tiny, fragile, endpoints is not a good idea.
- That's what annoys me.
  I do like the idea of getting rid of the double 8 pin connector, but the new one could have had 30%< 50% more area, been way more secure, and STILL more compact than the old one
- NVIDIA enjoys apple like religious fervor from its users. Anyone with two neurons to rub together could see this connector was a bad idea... Nobody from the consortium has implemented it other than NVIDIA.
