TL;DR

A user reports that their Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Nitro+ GPU's 12V-2x6 connector burned out after nearly a year of use, leading to system crashes. The failure is linked to the use of an adaptor connecting the GPU's 12V-2x6 connector to the PSU's three 8-pin connectors, highlighting potential issues with overheating and contact across pins, especially when using such adaptors.
