This is the revised, non-melty version of the older firey one? Not some new new connector, right?

Not new, it's 12V-2×6, and it's not perfect. I however, do not know what the failure rate is on it, and how many if any have been reported melting. Still has the inherent issue of lower tolerances than traditional 8-pin cables.
