Since the advent of the 12VHPWR interface, the shadow of burnt interfaces in high-end graphics cards has always hung over players. Even if they are upgraded to 12V-2x6, the risk of damage still exists.Recently, the power supply certification agency Cybenetics introduced a monitoring black box called "Anti-Melt (anti-meltdown)" in an attempt to end the security anxiety of graphics card power supply.
This Anti-Melt black box is connected between the power supply and the 12V-2x6 wire, and can monitor the operating status of the 12V-2x6 power supply wire in real time, including the current status of each independent pin and the core temperature.
The biggest selling point of this device is its customizable trigger conditions and supporting application. Players can customize the safety threshold in the application.The current monitoring supports setting the trigger point between 8A and 12A, and the temperature alarm supports setting the alarm line between 80°C and 95°C.
When the wire exceeds the upper limit, the buzzer will sound a warning. If it continues for more than a certain number of seconds (default 10 seconds), the 12V-2x6 power supply will be automatically cut off.
Through the accompanying dedicated application, players can clearly grasp the operating status of the power supply system just like viewing flight black box data, and can even export the data to Excel records to provide accurate basis for hardware debugging.
Cybenetics stated that it plans to add GPU power consumption limits to the software in the future. When it is found that the interface is overheated or the current is abnormal, the system will first try to cool down by lowering the power wall, and will only cut off the power when the problem cannot be solved, thereby avoiding forced interruptions.
Cybenetics said they hope to sell the Anti-Melt black box at cost price and are currently looking for production partners to have it on the market as soon as possible.
