I like how GN calls out Igors lab and others in a nice way due to their shitty miss information spreading ever since this issue started happening. I said many times in the past that if the you can't replicate the problem based on the theory, then it's just a theory and not the cause. GN finally as a theory that is repeatable and can cause the melting of the connectors. I am glad I didn't follow suit and continuously unplug and check my adapter because based on that testing, it absolutely could have made a perfectly fine adapter melt if I didn't insert it back in properly or accidentally bent the connector pins.

I totally agree and this whole affair been a good reminder to me.  I originally believed Igors reporting as I historically consider them one of the better reporter on tech issues and there explanations seem plausible and fell into my own bias of a greedy company cheeping out on a adapter construction to save a few penny seem not surprising.

It was not till a day later when I watch a Actually Hardcore Overclocking youtube video on the topic to realize we really still have no clue what the real issue is yet. 

Now a few weeks after that we finally have some reproduceable results of what causing the issue thanks to GN.
