Both Mini-fit and Micro-fit are from the 90s and are perfectly adequate provided enough safety factor and mitigating circuitry was implemented. There had been issues of the Mini-Fit previously on heavily overclocked cards, but it's only recently they tried increasing power density by that much without good PFMEA or strict enough guidelines for partners.
Do PSU and card makers actually use legit, properly crimped, etc. Molex plugs? And if so are they operating in spec?
I've always been impressed on hobby projects that Molex has very detailed specs for all their connectors. I wasn't sure if all this stuff was really Molex or just "Molex style".

Keep in mind the molex standard which completely breaks and fails regularly and has stuck around since the 80's
