FIELD REFERENCE / PC POWER
Same count.
Different questions.
Start with the equipment-side role. Check the PSU-side cable separately. Keep a 16-contact connector’s document generation beside its identity—not hidden behind a similar-looking picture.
01 / ROLE
Location is not identity.
A motherboard can have PCIe auxiliary power as well as CPU power. Resolve the labelled input before identifying its cable.
02 / TWO ENDS
A cable has two identities.
An equipment-side family does not establish which modular PSU cable is approved for an exact power supply.
03 / GENERATION
Keep the source version.
Original 12VHPWR and revised 12V-2x6 describe different document contexts. A concept diagram does not replace an exact component view.

SOURCE VERSION IS PART OF THE ANSWER
H+ and H++ are not whole-system verdicts.
Intel revision 2.11 distinguishes earlier 12VHPWR from the revised 12V-2x6 PCB connector. The documented contact-length changes concern the header. This reader supplies no contact measurements, sense wiring or unknown-cable compatibility decision.
