Hello guys,
For over a year i've been building rigs and powering gpu's based on this scheme:
But then one google search later, all information i find is that 8pin pcie cable can provide up to 150W, while the scheme says that it can provide up to 288W. If it really was only up to 150W, many of my rigs would be crashing all the time and i constantly would have to change melted connectors, although i never had any problems.
Surely i'm missing something, can someone give me some information?

8 Pin can deliver more than 150w, but the manufacturer say only 150w for save use. It can deliver more until it burns
The max I do over an 8 pin is 225W for long term mining.
