Gregory's Server@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...

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
