Explanation

The 12VHPWR connector (16-pin PCIe 5.0 power connector) was introduced to support high-end GPUs and has a maximum rated power delivery of 600W. It replaced the older dual 8-pin configuration (which topped out at around 300W) to meet the power demands of modern graphics cards. 400W is below the connector's maximum, and 700W exceeds its rated specification. MOW is not a valid wattage value.
