Incidents of melting of the 16-pin power interface of high-end graphics cards occur frequently, especially NVIDIA RTX 50 series graphics cards. Although the new 12V-2x6 standard has alleviated this problem to a certain extent, burn-in events still occur from time to time due to its inherent flaws.Now ASRock has launched a 12V-2x6 L-shaped cable equipped with a built-in NTC sensor that can detect resistance changes to provide overheating protection and ensure safe operation.
Unfortunately, this power supply cable is only compatible with ASRock's own power supplies, mainly Taichi and Phantom Gaming series, which means that users who want to use this cable need to switch to ASRock's power supply.
In addition, this L-shaped connecting cable adopts a two-color design. Users can judge whether the plug is fully inserted into the connector through the color change, effectively reducing the risk of melting caused by the plug not being fully inserted.MSI has had similar designs before.
This power supply cable sells for US$39.99 (approximately 286 yuan). Although the price is not low, for a high-end graphics card that is worth a lot of money, it is worth it if it can avoid a meltdown.
