    This seems to be a case of sloppy design and quality control. For shame AMD, for shame!

    That's a card I'll never buy.
    Thanks AMD for strengthen my decision.

    Gotta have something to moan about.

    Fairly certain these were review sample reference cards. Cards that haven't even been released yet - but, what do I know, keep spreading your joy.

    Maybe but AMD can`t afford this kind of stupid mistakes, specially when so many already think that they are garbage.

    While this isn't a big deal, it's still an oversight that doesn't really show sufficient testing. Why have such tight tolerances in the first place? Where that kind of tightness matters is how deep the cable is plugged in, hence all the burning connector issues...

    i would say that about psu cable manufacturers, one design is obviously better than the other

    and they'd go to production if TPU didn't test on 6+2-pin.

    seems like somebody got a little overzealous on the design team

    I admit that was a wee bit sloppy for the OE design, but wiring up an extension and trimming up the connector is easy. You can buy a extension pre-wired and trim it up yourself otherwise. No need to whine.

    And unless you have the relevant qualifications, your home insurance is invalidated.

    Just the usual AMD QC and QM problems. This cost money and Amd don't want to spend them. Rahter let their partners rule out problems/design flaws. That come for free :)

    this being a "cheap" GPU you shouldn't buy anything to use it, for me it is not a big deal, i have frankensteined PCI-E power cables into EPS cables to temporally test some server motherboards and here i am... it is better that the public whine so companies check on this details for future releases.
