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.
