Asus ROG Equalizer: 12-V-2x6-Stromkabel zeigt Schmorstellen, trotz spezieller Optimierungen

Das Asus ROG Equalizer 12V-2x6-Kabel soll eine verbesserte Stromverteilung bieten. Doch nun gibt es Berichte von geschmolzenen Kontakten.

Bei diesem Standard sind wohl sämtliche Tests während der Entwicklung ausgeblieben.

Immer schön, wenn Kunden als Tester verwendet werden. Quasi Bananen-Hardware, die beim Kunden reift.

Bin mir sicher, dass mein Konnektor gerade genug verlegt ist um das Problem der erhöhten Widerstände zu umgehen...

Schätze, ich werde es irgendwann herausfinden.

12VHPWR: 50 Euro teures Grafikkartenkabel von Asus schmilzt trotzdem - Golem.de

Asus hat extra ein teures Kabel entwickelt, um die Probleme des 12VHPWR-Steckers in den Griff zu bekommen - offenbar mit wenig Erfolg.

computer PSUs need a new higher voltage rail to deal with e.g GPUs and other high power devices.

It may sound weird but a 50v rail would make things more efficient AND safer, AND would allow for further expansion more easily.

Because the thing that melts those 12v HPWR connectors isn't voltage. It's amps.

if we'd increase the voltage by 4x we decrease the current by 4x. Cable and connectors would get much less hot.

And it's easier to design efficient GaN power conversion

It's 202(1,2,3,4,5,6) and NVIDIA's greatest innovation is convincing people that having a fire hazard so prevalent there is now an aftermarket of cable failure monitors is the pinnacle of a gaming PC build.

I am continuously befuddled by people spending the equivalent of several months of wages to potentially burn down their home.

PC prediction, slightly going out on a limb: with 12VHPWR / 12V2x6 connectors still melting, PC power supplies and high-end GPUs will switch to using a higher voltage to feed the extremely power-hungry beasts. Probably 24V, but they could go higher.

With the cards already doing DC-DC conversion down to much lower voltages for the GPU and memory, there's no need to stick with 12V, and doubling the voltage will allow them to cut the current needed in half -- and since it's the high current levels that is causing all the thermal issues, it's an obvious fix.

Well, it's ugly but my GPU isn't likely to catch fire.
