Yes, but the voltage on the wall side of the psu is not 12V it's 120-240V. And 600W at 120V requires only 5A of current. It's easier to handle more power at higher voltages because heat produced depends on current and not on volta

Probably because other side doesn't like fact checking.

I think the problem with this is that chips can only use a relatively low voltage around 1-1.5 volts. So if you supply 48 volts to the card it still has to be stepped down and this means more components and heat dissipation on the card. We

That connector (C13) is rated for 15 amps. That's 180W at 12V.
