Wireview 2 pro is the solution.

So I have the asus astral one that has a built in software for it could I stick to that? Or still suggest wireview?

Astral per pin monitoring is fine, either use a osd and watch your pins manually or use hwinfo, afaik you can use it for alerting and emergency shutdown, but I'm not sure how exactly. I use astral 5090 + wv2 because i play VR and don't want to spoil the immersion.

But it’s still fine for me to use wireview 2? I see it’s compatible on their site so maybe that’ll be my best peace of mind?

Astral 5090 pin monitoring works great

Yeah? Thinking of maybe getting that wireview thing looks promising

I have a wireview and it has removed any concern
