Tito Swineflu@xyla You mean I'm going to have to add to my dongle?
Pfeffiminztee@xyla *sighs*

Serge from BabkaCan someone explain this one?
xyla 🐀📈 (@[email protected])
@[email protected] it's a joke about nvidia pulling dangerous amounts of power through generic 6+6pin pairs
Thanks! I assumed it was something like this, but I didn't see enough of the cable to search for it.
�@xyla if it could handle 200V, only 3 amps would go through, so depending on the insulation, this even would be possible.
not taking the PSU and the not-existence of HV GPUs into account
Theolodian@xyla not a problem for us, the PSU died instead (5 weeks after we bought the PC)!
@xyla well, whaddya know! I didn’t have time to deal with it for 2 days so it sat unplugged. Plugged it in quickly just to be absolutely sure before following up with the manufacturer and glory be it works again! 🤪🥳
Alyssa Voronin@xyla One of these is false advertising. The other will burn your house down.
Noxy 🐾🏳️🌈@xyla looks like 12 pin, not 8 pin like alt text suggests
kajer :unknown:@xyla This is unfair to IEEE1394, I never had a IEEE1394 cable melt or catch actual fire.
Andrew Zonenberg@xyla I wonder how different things would be if nvidia had used something actually meant to properly push a lot of power.
I'm thinking something like https://www.samtec.com/rugged-power/power-systems/extreme-ten60power/.
And switch from 12VDC to 48VDC for the chassis level power distribution bus to reduce current, then step down to 12V on the GPU board.
@xyla (in my own slightly-less-extreme designs I use 6 pin minifit jr for 48V at up to ~2A total and 8 pin minifit jr for 12V at up to ~6A total, a sufficiently conservative design that I'm not worried about unequal current sharing)
Pxl Phile@xyla I ...
..I mean...
...this is not wrong.
I suspect we can charge an eCar battery very soon with USB-x-gold-max²™
Daniel Reeders@xyla 600 WATTS!?? Okay now I feel real stupid for not fully grasping the crypto and AI power crises. I'm a laptop user and I had no idea how much power a GPU draws.
Juan@xyla one for data transfer, another for burn down the building 💀💀
