Aren’t things getting out of hand? Yes, we’re seeing an increasing number of innovations in connectors and 12V-2×6 adaptors. After FPS’s cable with thermal probes, and adapters with heatsinks, we’re now looking at an even more complete solution. Make way for a 180° Chinese adapter incorporating a fan, thermometer and wattmeter!
12V-2×6, that’s it, it’s already gone too far…
On the programme is an adapter for NVIDIA graphics cards, and more specifically the RTX 40. In fact, the company behind this product only mentions RTX 4090/4080/4070, not RTX 50. However, this solution proves to be very complete, incorporating a temperature and power consumption monitoring system. In the latter respect, the product brings to mind Thermal Grizzly’s WireView, a test of which is available at this address.
However, the brand goes one step further by offering an active cooling system. This means that there is a small turbine-type fan built directly into the adapter.
This product, on sale on Taobao, comes in a range of colours, including silver and black. What’s more, it would appear that versions without a screen are also available. As for the layout, the company behind this solution is even considering different orientations for the connector. Yes, on some graphics cards it’s even reversed.
In short, it’s amazing what you can do with just a graphics card connector adapter. Honestly, we can’t wait for the one that makes coffee with a built-in grinder or the dishwasher version, because if you’re going to combine business with pleasure, you might as well go all the way.
Of course, behind this mocking tone, this type of product can be of interest, particularly in the field of computer testing. It allows you to see the real power consumption of the graphics card directly in front of you. And as for the price, expect to pay around thirty dollars!
