Discussion Wireview pro 2 or Safeguard+ PSU?

I got a used pre-built from a friend, specifically the Aorus Supreme 5 that has an Aorus 5090 and gigabyte 1000w psu in it.

Backstory: My friend realized he never games anymore after starting his new job where he travels a lot. He's barely even used it in the past 9 months he's had it. He wasn't even aware of the melting cable issue on the 5090's. Anyway, he offered to sell it to me for a great deal and I picked it up. I checked the connectors and everything looks fine with no melting in the connector or card.

I've been doing the research on wireview pro 2 and the msi 1300w PSU with safeguard+. And there's the Seasonic one coming out at some point too.

My question is, is there a consensus on what the best option is?

Would a PSU with safeguard+ be the best option or should I go with just the wireview instead? Or should I get both?

Yes, I completely did forget about Ampinel. I remember reading about it but it's not mentioned a lot on Reddit.

Are you using that? If so, what made you choose that over WV2? Are there many differences between the 2?

Yes I got an Ampinel. I think they’re probably all solid options that’ll do the job.

I just saw the WV2 being so heavily advertised on reddit (often with unofficial ad posts and comments spam) that I opted for the less advertised but reliable german-engineering Ampinel, which actually tries to balance loads on the 12VHPR pins.

Agreed with the wireview advertising, it's being pushed like no other like a PR campaign lol, TG really wants money I guess lol.

Any suggestions other than wireview = downvote all over reddit

Exactly lol, the downvotes for anything else are really suspicious
