Yeah, it seems weird to start the article off "Even if certain YouTube celebrities are of a different opinion because they seem to have found a willing object of hate in the 12VHPWR once again" in regards to a legit fire hazard in people's homes. People are acting like that Jay dude is fearmongering while shit is literally burning.

The problem was never the C13/C14 connector handling mains power. The power supply feeds 12V DC to the card over the connector we're talking about, for 37.5 amps that that connection handles.

It is a 12VDC connector. At 600W that means 50A up, 50A down. 8.3A per pin. And that's assuming it's all perfectly balanced, which with these connections, it won't be.

I’ve got mine bent at 90 degrees and have been playing control all week. HWInfo shows 600~ watt pull and my cable is fine. We need more data.
