An X user has posted videos of an RTX 5070 that has suffered an all-too-familiar case of cable meltage. Reportedly, an updated 12V-2×6 power cable is implicated, as opposed to the older but closely related 12VHPWR cable, which is a worry.
For the record, the card in question was a Zotac RTX 5070 model paired with a Seasonic Focus GX-750 power supply. It's worth noting that it was the cable that suffered unambiguous damage here, not the graphics card or even, seemingly, the power connector or socket.
