Can someone clarify how two 8-Pin PCIe ports can deliver 600 watts?

And it remains expensive for what you receive, from the CONS OVERPRICED, OPP set so high that it’s really not safe! From the OP when he reached out to people who had no understanding of their products. And why would those who truly should know not share this? Well, as I mentioned, the ASUS representative was completely unaware of these PSUs. You might try defending anything you want, but with more experience you’ll see things clearly. When you’re repeatedly misled and your claims about products are false, your previous good reputation is ruined. Their gimmick AI software with auto overclocking—have you ever seen it? If you’ve tried removing it, I’ve done so several times. Overall, it looks like a scam company making money off the overpriced items, still relying on customers who once trusted the product.
The 6-pin standard doesn’t need three 12V wires, only two. This is usually the case because most recent 6-pin connectors in power supplies are part of 6+2 PCIe connectors. The third pin serves the 8-pin situation, while the extra two pins act as a ground and a signal wire to inform the GPU that the 8-pin connection is present with all three wires.
That's correct about the connector on a PCIe cable. You're referring to the CPU/PCIe connector on the modular board of the PSU. These connectors generally have higher quality and different pin configurations. The one on the modular board is rated for 13A per pin if it's HCS or 9A if it's standard mini-fit.
