The wire itself really isn't the issue, the NEC in the US is notoriously cautious and 15A continuous is allowed on 14AWG conductors. Poor connectors that do not ensure good physical contact is a real problem here, and I really fail to understand the horrid design of the 12VHPWR connector. We went decades with traditional PCIe 2x6 and 2x6 power connectors with relatively few issues, and 12VHPWR does what over them? Save a little bulk?
