The refusal to blame Nvidia for creating a card that will randomly demand far more power than the cable is rated for is why nobody trusts reporters or manufacturers anymore. The card should never be demanding more than the cable is rated to carry, 670w on a 600w cable for a card rated to 575 and nobody blames Nvidia for making that possible? Ok...
First thing I'm doing is undercoating and power limiting that card
