That’s designed to work at 120V. The PSU-GPU connector is 12V. I don’t know if it’d actually work well – like, the contacts would have a tenth the conductive capacity, I guess.
Honestly, the main standardized 12V DC connector that I can think of that we use is the car cigarette lighter, which I don’t think normally moves anything like that much power and is terrible, doesn’t lock into place, was never intended as a power source. I would like a 12V locking connector that can move a lot of juice.
That particular cable and plug will handle 24 watts. I know that you can get higher power ones – I had to go out of my way to find one that could do 100W.
My guess is that the 12V problem will never really be addressed and we’ll just go to USB-C PD at up to 50.9V for our DC power connector standard. Which I guess works too as long as the amperage doesn’t get too high, but that won’t be enough to feed a current high-end Nvidia GPU.
Maybe have, like, multiple USB-C PD connectors in parallel. Three should do it.
Why not just use a connector that is designed for this much and is already cheap and easily available.
One plug for the GPU one for everything else. I give it 5 years until this is reality lmao
