Today I am testing the second native 90° angle cable and, I can already spoil it, I have nothing to complain about. Because when the power supply cable collides with the side of the case, good advice is often expensive. Especially afterwards, when NVIDIA’s adapter has fused inextricably with the graphics card’s header. Seasonic now [...]

If the adapter (doesn’t) bend and the power supply cable collides with the side of the housing, then good advice is often expensive. Especially afterwards. It is precisely for such cases that be quiet! offers a special 90° angle cable designed to avoid this problem. Today’s test will examine what the cable can and cannot do, but I [...]
Please don’t panic again, but the new adapter is so fragile that quality management and controls can’t be tough enough to ensure safe operation. And since there will be no media launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 Super tomorrow and no results can be published until the day after tomorrow, I’m going to focus today on a product that is [...]
It is well known that you can use tools such as MSI Afterburner to increase or decrease the maximum power consumption of a graphics card (within the specifications). In addition, the 12V-2×6 connection (formerly 12VHPWR) also offers different power levels. But what are the differences between the two options and what happens if you use both [...]
After numerous articles, explanations, and follow-up tests, today we’re taking a different approach. I have three intriguing topics for you: the possible origin story of the 12VHPWR connector, the deliberate ignorance of the originally intended 8-pin EPS connector, which continues to prove its resilience against defeat in power supplies and [...]
Today’s article is the result of several months of laboratory work, extensive measurement series, development work, and constant cross-checking. The matter of the 12-volt connectors is unfortunately so complex that I had to look for a new approach to complete the picture. And no, there isn’t THE one cause, but always a causal chain of [...]
I have prepared a very elaborate article for next Monday (06.11.2023) that reflects in detail on my work over the last 6 months on this seemingly never-ending topic. And I can already spoil the fact that the pieces of the puzzle that are still missing from my point of view and have probably finally been found now provide a much more complete [...]
During an interview with Club386, Scott Herkleman, who holds the position of Senior Vice President and General Manager of AMD’s Graphics Business Unit, provided insight into the initial plans being pursued at AMD. Those plans were to integrate the 12VHWPR connector into the design template of the RX-7800 and RX-7700 series of GPUs. However [...]
The king is dead, long live the king. Or the other way around: The findings of the last few months are finally taken seriously and the connector is modified, work is done on a new standardization and tests are carried out ad nauseam. The product is given a new name, although in the end it is only a further development that should have been [...]
The problems around this connection do not stop, but exact numbers about real cases of damage are always rare. Even lists in social networks, forums, or collective threads on Reddit do not accurately reflect the real damage that has occurred. The number of people who do not speak out publicly could be much higher. Unfortunately, retailers and [...]
