I've have two of them already and the first one was the initially released product from a long time ago and I haven't had any problems with them on both 4090s. The only reason why I had to buy a new one is because my connector is reversed on the Zotac. I think the possibility of the connector melting in the GPU if it is plugged in all the way could be less than a cable melting because all of the current is passing through a large piece of metal instead of individual wires. I think the possibility of the cable melting where it plugs into the WireView is exactly the same as it would be with the cable connected to the video card.

 

The biggest issue with them is not fitting everything that uses this power socket. There are too many design variances from one GPU to the next. I had to use a Dremel tool to carve away part of the acrylic on both of my 4090 Bykski waterbocks. And neither one of them would fit with the stock air cooler installed.

 

From any angle that I look at it there's nothing good or satisfying about this new power connector and it amazes me that they continue using it and spite of its horrible design and glaring issues. That is a reflection of what a sad, sad, sad situation we have in the PC tech space. We have been overrun by retarded baboons that have been given free reign to make stupid decisions that screw things up for everyone and no accountability for their stupidity..

Yeah the 4090’s just don’t pull power like that though. They are 450w stock, and rarely pull 600w. I know Motivman and Yzonker and another person used wire view pro with shunted 5090 and their cables would burn them if they touched it. They stopped using wire view because of this. I would be extremely careful.

Yes, I will be careful. I am usually more careful that necessary and I have always been super-paranoid about these defective new connections. Since my first GPU with the chintzy 12VHPWR connectors I am constantly feeling of the cable and WireView or using my IR thermometer and so far none have ever melted or gotten overly hot.

 

My 4090 Suprim has a 1kW vBIOS and when pushed hard on the chiller it will chug 1000W easily. If I see any evidence that the cable is getting hot/hotter with the WireView than without it I will return it for a refund to Amazon. Even if I end up returning it, I will at least be able to see how much power is getting pulled through the 12VHPWR socket with the shunt mod.

 

I still think damage to the GPU itsself is reduced with it because the WireView itself is a heatsink and all of the power pins that connect to the GPU come from a common bar. I think it provides a level of load balancing among the pins that NVIDIA so "thoughfully" (negligently) omitted. But, while I think the socket on the GPU is safer, that is not going to do anything whatsoever to help the cable connecting to the WireView not melt. It may be that the cable gets hotter because the WireView acts as a heatsink.

 

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

I haven't started using the chiller yet, but this beats my top score using the chiller.
