Gosh you're being melodramatic this isn't going to burn down your house. Most likely the worst that's going to happen is the GPU would be unusable. And this is from effectively it melting not burning.

I know people have this very melodramatic idea of that Suddenly It's going to burst into flames like a road flare but it won't. You can tell from the Melt on the plug that the user didn't plug in the cable all the way leading to the cable melting.

Yep. They confirmed this to the press. It was user error. Replacing the cable is just a bonus.
