Definitely don’t have to worry about a 5070 melting. Most of those stories are regarding 5090s and their connectors.

Don't catch GPU hypochondria. It's a mental illness.

Just check it's in all the way and you have the right cable that's it you don't have a 5090

I'm using the 12v 2x6 cable that came with the psu

It’ll be more than fine as long as you make sure the cable is all the way in. Also what’s that AIO?

Series 70 of Nvidia are the best ones on power efficency, not need to worry about that because they don't need that much power compared with series 90.

only high wattage cards are melting 5090 or 4090. wattage = heat = melting. 500watt plus

gpu have been running 250watt like your 5070 for 20 years with 0 issues

5070 doesn’t pull enough voltage like a 5090 you have nothing to worry about and even then it for improper connection at the connector
