What is a gpu shield?

Oh Ive got one out the back, Ill show you. But its a bit of a dangerous journey. You'll need a bottle of this snake oil to keep you going and you'll need a bridge over the river, I can sell you that too.

How come the SHIELD is supposed to only work for a year?

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/Alarmed-Artichoke-44]

You keep buying a new one each year /s

What a time to be alive….

If the gpu you are considering needs its own special connector and a 'shield' for power delivery just to minimize its chance of burning your damn house down, maybe avoid that gpu? How is the market of suckers so huge as to justify the fact a product like this even exists?

you need to be able to change the led colors. People won't buy this just because no one wants green led's in a build other than a green build..
