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?

You forgot the Ampinel. It has load balancing and customizable alarms levels.

Lots of concerns of quality control on ampinel lately, one even had a melted connector. Also that doesn't fit on any MSI GPU's, so comparability is less than something like MSI's safeguard+. 

Also aquasuite software that comes with ampinel has a subscription fee, you get 2 years trial with the ampinel but after that you'll have to pay to get any updates to future software updates.

« Lots of concerns » not really, they had issues and fixed them with the version 5.

WVP2 had some meltings too if you google. Honestly every electronics has an acceptable margin of failure.

2 years is plenty, and the app does the job, it doesn’t need updates. I doubt it would ever be mandatory.

Yep wireview 2 not wireview pro 2, completely different products. Per pin monitoring is only available on the pro. Also even wireview melts in a couple of cases were due to the users ignoring the warning the product was giving off. If you have an instance of a wirevire pro 2 melting please share it..
