A wire which is supposed to carry 9.5A max carrying >20A is bad.
With the way the Founder Edition uses the connector -- all the 12V pins are just connected together on the card -- isn't it better to do the same on the cable, in other words connect all 12V wires together at the connector on both ends? Would that eliminate imbalance between the cables?
It has always confused me why they dont use an existing standard like an XT90 as the connector. Two chunky 12v leads that can carry the power needed.
