Tell that to the 4090 connectors that have started to melt.
Sure, theoretically you could push the wires to be even thinner. The connectors are the actual weak link. But thin wires means small flimsy connectors. And we're already seeing what just 450w can do right now to the new connector spec.

@alyx @LukeAlmighty the meltong connectors were on the cable side, not GPU side, and only certain PSU manufacturers had this issue AFAIU. But yeah it is near the limit...

@wolf480pl @LukeAlmighty @alyx @wolf480pl @alyx @LukeAlmighty it's the crimp job for the pins in all likelihood. I've seen those fail inside appliances before

2x connectors on the gpu is fine. 14 awg stranded wire is still reasonably flexible and everything can remain at a very safe to handle 12 volts. plus no need for a new spec and backwards incompatibility

a 1000W space heater is already pretty bad in terms of fan noise and heating up the room. I don't think there's room for consumer cards to go significantly higher than they currently are. so no need to change anything

at one point nvidia was talking about datacenter cards that would require higher voltages and thus different PSUs. I don't know if that ever materialized though. there are power density (ie cooling) problems at some point
