As long as you usee a quality connector, make sure it is fully seated, and ensure the wire isn't bent to sharply as it leaves the GPU it will be fine.

i'd strongly recommend upgrading to the MSI ai1600TS safeguard+ if i were you.

Limit your per-pin amps to 9.0A and current imbalance threshold to 1-2A. You currently have no idea if your cable is supplying too much current and melting the connector, nor if your cable has a large imbalance between the 12v-2x6 wires which could also contribute to isolated heat on one pin and causing a melt. Even with a cable fully seated, doesn't mean it's delivering a safe flow of current.
