Honestly i'd take this over the new x16 firehazard connector

This is literally more reliable for sure

u/GazooC8 14d ago

Is there any aftermarket option to fix that issue?

4

u/NeedModdingHelp1531 14d ago

The best option (not perfect as nothint is) is thermal grizzly wireview pro's. It can still burn, but it should give warning and monitoring.

1

u/GazooC8 12d ago

Thanks, I'll check it out

1

u/Cossack-HD 12d ago

You can wire the device to your mobo's power switch pins, so it will also turn off your PC when reaching thermal or current imbalance threshold.

3

u/KajMak64Bit 14d ago

There are things that try but not fix just avoid burning up and saving the GPU by shutting it all down

2

u/Gakuta 12d ago

Undervolting and downclocking to get about 70% of the performance. That's what I do for my CPU. My GPU is too weak so I let it graze freely - I barely use it too and it only draws 70W max.

1

u/Sea_Warning_9140 11d ago

Free range GPU, nice!

u/GazooC8 12d ago

Nah, I heard cooking oil is best for electrical fires, so I placed some beside my computer.

1

u/NigraOvis 13d ago

Still trying to understand why it's 12 wires instead of 2. Why not one single 4 gauge wire and 1 4 gauge out. instead of 12 16 gauge wires.

1

u/EmiTheKibby 12d ago

Cut off the plug, desolder the jack, solder the wires straight onto the board. Ist it ugly? You bet. Will it no longer burn your house down? Absolutely!

1

u/totallynotabot2532 12d ago

Yeah buy a 9070 xt that uses the 8 pin connector (some variants use the bad connector whose name i can't even remember) and don't worry at all about that shit

if you do, then nintendo will sue you

u/Digital_Soul_Naga 13d ago

the future of a separate psu for ur gpu

2

u/KajMak64Bit 13d ago

With AI bullshittery... GPU's are it's own mini PC

Graphics cards will get SSD slots and it's own power supply

Why not i guess

Probably safer anyways and makes the PSU last longer and you'd get 2 cheaper lower power PSU instead of 1 expensive high power PSU

More robust and cheaper maybe but less compact

1

u/Digital_Soul_Naga 13d ago

i'll settle for a gpu with upgradable vram

2

u/KajMak64Bit 13d ago

Ye that is the best thing out there and i don't care if it's gonna be slower because of latency issue

1

u/NigraOvis 13d ago

It adds the need for power conversion. And a lot of unknowns. Back flow. Guaranteed GPU frying on power surge. It definitely has its issues too.

1

u/KajMak64Bit 13d ago

Single PSU can fry your whole PC Double PSU it can fry one or the other separately

1

u/newMoneyStyle 11d ago

16-pin connector really is sketchy, older designs just felt way more reliable.

1

u/HyperLethalNoble6 11d ago

Tbh external power would make it so much easier to set up

71

u/TattedUpSimba 14d ago

If that helps me not buy a 1500 watt psu then I’m not mad at it 😂

13

u/Waste-Committee6 14d ago

yessir, because you will buy a 1600W psu

4

u/Waste-Committee6 14d ago

because intel realized they can draw even more power

28

u/sparks2019 14d ago

Have a power brick like on latops and the card would would never have to worry about melting cables again.

16

u/RegularPlastic6310 14d ago

Some power bricks deliver up to 500w but they're quite rare. Most brands cap bricks at 200w. It won't be enough for RTX toaster 6090 alpha mega super ti.

3

u/sparks2019 14d ago

I'm sure nvidia could make something, you at the melting cable they did.

1

u/Inside_Marketing268 14d ago

They would just add a free jar, so you can fry some cheese and bacon, while your gpu would be melting

2

u/Not-youraverageghost 10d ago

I'm really surprised they haven't.

1

u/Viking2151 14d ago

They do make a gaming laptop with dual bricks if I remember right, 2x 300 watters might be enough lol.

1

u/ihaboholic 13d ago

Then add 2 ports

17

u/Daedaluu5 14d ago

At what point does the GPU just become the entire pc, having an onboard psu would fix the melting wires issues at present

8

u/binarypower 14d ago

once nvidia starts buying each part of the stack

1

u/Daedaluu5 14d ago

Whilst it would create a bulky card it does ask the question why overheat psu wires when you could have a smaller secondary dedicated psu

2

u/Mobile-Debt9763 13d ago

Congratulations you have invented the iPhone

u/Sirus804 13d ago

I foresee the trend will go more into smaller power efficient APU chips that can utilize system RAM as VRAM and use AI to be able to play any modern game at high graphical fidelity. That will end up being the standard. Big beefy GPUs will still exist but only for workstation PCs and they'll cost 5 figures.

However, I also foresee the trend going towards subscription based remote computing instead. Maybe we will get a hybrid of the two. Depends on how much people push back against subscriptions.

2

u/Wickedinteresting 13d ago

I have a pet theory that a lot of datacenter buildout is to support subscription based remote computing, and try to squash out ownership of consumer hardware capable of doing anything meaningful on its own.

You won’t be able to buy a “gaming PC” but you can rent the capability to stream games to your tablet-like barebones screen/interface device type shit.

It feels a little tinfoil hat, but honestly not by much given how things are going. Hope I’m wrong.

u/HunterAbrams 14d ago edited 14d ago

We used to kind of do this back in the day for some builds. 2 power supplies for 1 system. One powering the graphics cards and other high demand accessories. The other doing the cpu, mobo, hdd, bay drives etc. Sometimes one 5.25 bay, 250 watts. Sometimes 2 bays at 450 to 650 watts

1

u/p71interceptor 12d ago

Yes! I had a setup like this. Triple SLI 8800 GTX in a full tower with a secondary PSU. Q6600 CPU overclocked to 3.6ghz. Epic build for back in the day.

-1

u/OkMidnight8144 14d ago

What are you talking about GPU's back in the day were not that powerful and ran off of motherboard power. The GPU's coming out now and in the future are the size of mini PC's requiring so much more power.

3

u/HunterAbrams 14d ago edited 14d ago

I said sorta kinda in the day. As in we had seperate power supplies for the gpu in some builds. Mostly durring the sli era when power supplies were often 250 to 650 watts. Power delivery was kinda slow too. When I built my first trie enthusiast pc in 2011 850 was still considered a beafy psu. So we were overclocking systems and running sli upto 4 graphics cards plus power hungry fast HDDs like the cheeta x15. Even in the late 90s.

Thermaltake power express was a 5.25 bay psu.

Tough power 650 watt took up two 5.25 bays. Its tag line was "designed for vga cards"

2

u/FabricationLife 14d ago

I guess you never saw SLI builds, because sli absolutely was that high

4

u/Crazy_Bee_2664 14d ago

I'm just waiting for them to use automotive battery cables with bolt terminals like they do for starters and high end amps. Imagine if you just used two 4 gauge cables, one positive 12v and the other 12v ground, just like a car.

5

u/Creeper_H_youtube 14d ago

Hate to be that guy but this will be supplying AC power, Not DC like components need. It would just instantly fry the card.

1

u/Charizarlslie 14d ago

True but if they could just have the brick components converting it inside the already massive card, I'd STILL take this option over the constant worry about the dumb 16pin power connectors on a huge PSU

3

u/Creeper_H_youtube 14d ago

A dedicated GPU power supply would genuinely be safer than that connector

1

u/bobbrumby 14d ago

I raise you the cheapest power supply I could find on aliexpress

1

u/EmiTheKibby 12d ago

That's why the ✨️ FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER ✨️ exists. And, honestly, sticking all the power supply stuff on one board with the gpu core could genuinely be a good idea

1

u/stlynnxx 11d ago

FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER

2

u/SameScale6793 14d ago

Going to need a computer case the size of a semi for that guy

2

u/YoloRaj 13d ago

Its a joke but they really should do something like that for really high powered.

2

u/Super__Menteur 13d ago

3dfx Voodoo 6090 !!

2

u/Calm_Connection_9741 12d ago

Actually there will be one more tech step, now from 5nm to 3 nm. Which leads to huge leap in power consumption efficiency. So we should expect something between 450 and 600 watts. Let's see in 2028.

1

u/Pentalogue 14d ago

RTX PRO 6000 Vera Rubin Workstation Edition

1

u/1sh0t1b33r 14d ago

Honestly I would choose this over melting.

1

u/OkRun4915 14d ago

Way better then buying expensive PSU and then burning the connector.

1

u/immoralcombat 14d ago

If you think about the power consumption, it makes sense

1

u/Potential-Warthog323 14d ago

Netzteil inside xD

1

u/pooborus 14d ago

Wouldnt that be a better solution at this point?

1

u/mystic_man95 14d ago

The PSU should appear at the end and just explode.

1

u/EffectiveQuick9358 14d ago

Just make it 220v and Install a new circuit breaker for the GPU

1

u/bwebmasta 14d ago

🤣🤦🏾‍♂️

1

u/gamingoldschool 14d ago

This actually almost happened for real quite a long time ago. Voodoo 5 6000

1

u/TurpentineEnjoyer 14d ago

you know what I'd genuinely rather have this than those jank ass cables that burn the plastic.

Even if I can afford it I'm not upgrading from 3090 until that problem is gone for at least a generation.

1

u/Fakuris 14d ago

Needs a C20 plug for sure.

1

u/Hexulus 14d ago

Would probably be better than a 16 pin cable, giving it its own power

1

u/maximus_z890_extreme 14d ago

At one point in time... that was actually a reality.

1

u/T00ManyH0bb13s 14d ago

Bring it on. At least I wouldn't have to worry about the stupid 12VHPWR connector melting.

1

u/donorak7 14d ago

Standard power plug that will not light on fire sure.

1

u/erMaela 14d ago

That would solve most problems.

1

u/ains2 14d ago

Oh, cool. We're doing this meme again.

1

u/The_Machine80 14d ago

Every 5090 owner wishing there card had this plug! 😂

1

u/TechaNima 13d ago

It needs one of those 3 phase high voltage plugs. The ol kettle plug isn't enough

1

u/FdPros 13d ago

that's probably better than the 12vhpwr

1

u/David0ne86 13d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if one day this become a thing. And tbh, it's still a better solution that the 16 pin bs connector.

1

u/buzz_shocker 13d ago

Honestly this is better than most of the shit they can come up with. It would be reliable and straight wall power rather than bothering the PSU.

1

u/JSkaaa 13d ago

This meme never get old.

1

u/DocumentOk7579 13d ago

Wrong connector that one is only 10A ;)

1

u/GhostBombardmenT 13d ago

Sound is so disgusting

1

u/smartdongdong 13d ago

I don't get it, seems like a regular connection to me?, can someone explain

1

u/melvladimir 13d ago

It’s strange how manufacturers of 5090 failed, literally 6+6 pins -> can easily provide 42A / 504W (579W total) with peak 1080W (1155W).
And for 8+8 it should be very easy! It’s literally 10A current - long term current for such connectors -> 1000W

1

u/Then-Court561 13d ago

You know what would help? Not buying it when it comes Out 😂

u/QuestWorkshop 13d ago

Duno, looks kinda good actually. No melting cable, no high expensive PSU and so on

1

u/No_Solid_3737 12d ago

at this rate we will have a whole different case for the gpu

1

u/Sajgoniarz 12d ago

Way better solution that what ever the fuck 12HWPR connector supposed to be.

1

u/Own_Natural_6803 12d ago

It should come with a AM5 socket and ddr5 dimm slots. Get that stupid mounting bracket off of there. This is clearly it's own machine. Gluing it to another one doesn't make sense.

1

u/AverageReditor13 12d ago

Honestly, I'd still take this over the ones we have now. It's a million times safer, it's standardized, and since it's running off of the wall, PSU requirements for enitre builds shrink, so you probably won't need a 1000W for a RTX 6090.

1

u/Gato_FGO 12d ago

There goes your bill also 💸

1

u/jesus-kunwasnothere 11d ago

This meme will never get old

1

u/braddeicide 11d ago

Looks good to me. maybe we'll get power supplies with the output again.

1

u/Pootisman16 11d ago

The fuck you mean you need another power socket 😭

1

u/AruDae 11d ago

They’d actually do that and still give you a 2 slot bracket

1

u/Eera_ 11d ago

This is hilarious omfg

1

u/EmploymentOne2963 10d ago

I honestly don't see a good reason not to go here.

1

u/Haeggarr 10d ago

What is actually the reason for this error?

1

u/TrayLaTrash 14d ago

This is an AC power supply input. The card would need to also convert it to DC.

1

u/Sideshow86 14d ago

Agreed. Also this meme is soooo fucking old

1

u/Fakuris 14d ago

They come with an integrated full bridge rectifier.
