To my knowledge it doesn't disconnect. People simply did not connect it.
GN is extremely critical and holds manufacturers to a very high standard. GN is the first to lambaste a manufacturer over a design that's even slightly sub-par. If Steve says it's fine, it's almost certainly fine IMO.
I'd recommend watching the video. [1]
[edit] johnnyguru apparently said the same thing. These are no spring chickens, and Johnny now works at Corsair AFAIK making power supplies.
The fix is shorter sense pins that don't indicate to the card the cable is actually plugged in until fully seated. Don't get me wrong it should have been that way from the start, and a warning is needed. That said, it's not an issue when used correctly.

- kube-system 4y agoYes, the connector works fine when used properly. The issue is that it doesn’t fail gracefully. It might sound nit-picky, but this is a normal standard of engineering design safety.
- arcticbull 4y agoNot nit-picky at all, I think it's a good distinction. Thanks for the clarification.
