AMD Radeon RX 7600 reference design to be fixed before market launch to support all power cables
As reported earlier, the AMD reference (MBA – Made by AMD) design has issues with some power cables. As it turned out, some 6+2-pin cables may not fully insert into the card because of the backplate design. This issue only affects some cables that have a small bump that is blocked by the overextended backplate.
Those cables have existed for many years, so it is surprising to see a new AMD reference card that cannot fit such cables. And this was only discovered by reviewers who had trouble fitting their cables. Luckily for AMD, the company was in no rush to release its reference design to the retail (DIY) market. The plan was to enable board partners first, but due to interest in this AMD design, the company is indeed planning to launch their MBA cards to the market.https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-rx-7600-reference-design-will-be-fixed-to-fit-all-power-cables-before-market-releaseIf manufacturers want to change something on a video card board, there are always problems. This is not necessary, because the computer has enough space for the video card, and reducing the size of the video card is not required.
To be honest this is actually no news as these MBA cards are not on the market yet and this was a slight oversight of their design team with an very easy and cheap fix by altering the backplate slighty.
Your last sentence is just clickbait.
This problem can be solved with a file and pliers if you do not need a guarantee, but the main question is, why change the power supply connection design that has been proven over the years?
If they improved this solution with additional fuses and diodes that would protect the video card from a short circuit, that would be good. But modern video cards do not have fuses, although they were on older models of video cards. The RX 480 and RX470 had fuses after the power plug.
