Why don't you offer a 4x8pin to 12VHPWR direct cable?

Using 4 x 8pin for a direct 12VHPWR cable is quite silly, and this is why you will never see any PSU manufacturers offering a 4x8pin direct 12VHPWR cable either.

Technically, of course we can make a 4 x 8pin direct 12VHPWR cable, and charge more for this. But we just don't want to make a useless product with no benefit to our customers.

A modern PSU 8-pin port can supply 300w and more, so why are you connecting 4 x 300w (1200w) to a 12VHPWR 600w port?

To make a 4 x 8pin cable, you will need to add multiple joints and splitting wires within the cable for no benefits but adding extra points of failures and resistance to the cable for no reason.
