i9 sounds like way overkill atm. Like, PC hardware will probably be at DDR6 by the time i9 will make a noticeable difference compared to i7.

Maybe the builders didn't use the cheap af adapter cable supplied by Nvidia and instead used a PSU that had the correct cable already included.

Eh, I doubt it. You might want to look inside the case to make sure before powering it on.

I looked at the photos on the website, and if they really are using the power cable with the 90 degree turn built-in, then there is pretty much zero risk of the power connector ever melting. Doubly so with Corsair themselves building the PC since you know their PSUs are quality.

Like was $~150-250 over raw parts cost

Which is more than reasonable for them to do the work and for a 2 year system warranty

It's totally fine to buy quality prebuilts, especially if they come with good warranties and support.

I built all my previous gaming desktops but honestly unless you're gonna go in the BIOS / manually OC stuff, a good builder is just as good as building your own.

Yeah I figure since corsair makes the psu, they'd use a newer one that supports that vs the crap nvidia adapter. I was nervous before we knew what the issue is but now that it's identified I'm not worried.
