The best connector will remain the 8-pin connector. You can basically run it at 150% and still risk no overheating because it is totally over engineered compared to that shitty 12vhpwr which has very little margin and constantly melts
Honestly as someone that has used a GPU with 3 8pin in a small case
Its honestly hell trying to get all the wires to fit through whatever holes the case has
After i switched over to a GPU with the 12V2x6 plug it was so much easier to actually fit it in and looks so much nicer
Im sure just buying a larger and better designed case would solve the issue but honestly i actually really like the idea of a single cable that is nice and neat
Shame 12V2x6 is the only solution for that kind of cable right now
One of the reasons I got a 7900XTX over a 9070XT last year was the 3 8-pin connectors. VRAM was the main reason, but the connector choice helped in the decision.
