What about the 12V EPS connector? I have a Corsair VX450 which doesn't have an 8-Pin PCI-E connector. I don't have official specs for EPS but it seems to be for servers, particularly for both redundant PSUs and multiple high power CPUs. There is the unofficial spec at playtool:

voltage rail: +12V
number of lines: 4
max current: 28A
max wattage: 336W
My PSU has 33A on the +12V rail so if this spec is accurate theoretically it should work. Can anyone verify this? The wiring has written on it 300V 18awg.

For anyone wanting to see if they have this cable:

You can identify an 8-Pin PCI-E cable with having PCI-E branded on the connector with 3 yellow (12V) wires and 5 black (GND) wires. On the other hand, you can identify an 8-Pin EPS connector as having 4 yellow (12v) and 4 black wires (GND) with the yellow wires situated closest to the tab on the connector.
