I think it could work

>>108625441
watercooled connector ?

>>108625444
because you are a typical /g/ retard crossdresser. if the connector is going to melt, it is going to melt. throwing water on the wire crimps is not going to help.

>>108625563
it's not like they instantly achieve 900c, they melt because they get too hot

if you had a copper jacket with good contact it legitimately would prevent it from getting to that runaway condition

>>108625441
This doesn't even remotely address the issue
It just needs simple load balancing of the 6 wires

>>108625441
issues?

>>108625460
copper heatsink basically.
but how do you unplug it as it has a plastic latch on the connector?

What has the world become?

Why not simply use PoE to power the device?

My power connector issue? where?

>>108625685
better yet, transition to using 48V for graphics cards

>>108625441
The technologically illiterate will buy this before undervolting their flagship cards.

File: Screenshot 2026-04-17 at 17-37-37 AFD on X @Madness727 I like it! I'm also okay with using some beefy 0 to 4 gauge high-power cables with set screws that are used with 1000W amps.. https __t.co_VG4sK7QhKM _ X.png (866.4 KB)

There are real solutions to these power ratings that exist in other electronics you know

>>108625441
>make a new high-power connector
>it's not good and melts sometimes
>fix the issues
>the issues are fixed
>huehue retards will shit on your connector for 9000 more years as if the issues are still present
it's all so tiresome, I wish they would sue people for this blatant slander of a perfectly fine connector

>>108625563
what does it have to do with crossdressers even

isn't mixing electricity and water like a bad thing or something?

>>108625907
>>the issues are not fixe
>> blame anything else
>> "You're plugging it wrong"
Why are you defending this?

>>108626041
not if it's distiled water

>>108625441
>powered connector with copper casing
I wonder why this doesn't exist anywhere. I'm sure there's a reason...

>>108625907
>the issues are fixed
no, they're not
it's still shit
even when it's powering cards that only consume half of its rated wattage it still fucking melts
the cable is innately unsafe even when you give it a 300w overhead with the 5080

>>108626176
>>108626208
Why are you slandering a perfectly fine connector? I run local ai on 2 rtx pro 6000 24/7 with this connector at 400-600W continuously for 5 months already and nothing ever melted. My gayming 5090 also never had any issues.

>>108626235
>perfectly fine connector
it's objectively a downgrade to 8 pins and you have to be a clueless retard to pretend otherwise
its sole purpose is to look nicer than having 4 8 pins sticking out of the card, the most faggoty of reasons

>>108626245
Its purpose is to deliver 600w of power over 12 wires in 1 connector. You can do it with 16 wires in 2 connectors, but there's no reason to do that when 1 connector and 12 wires are enough.

>>108626270
no, its purpose is to make faggot founder's edition cards look better by letting them easily tuck the connectors away
it's not more robust, it doesn't do anything better, it's just more space efficient at the cost of everything else

>>108625956
you need to go back

>>108626270
The safety margin is so low that if there is even slightly bad connection due to manufacturing tolerances or some other issue it's going to catch fire. It would help if the individual wires had current sensing and balancing like the old 8 pin connectors do, but they don't even have that. Maybe they do have balancing and current sensing on something as expensive as a RTX PRO 6000, it would be literally criminal if they were counting nickles on something like that.

>>108626292
at the cost of literally nothing because there's nothing wrong with 12V-2x6
>>108626318
>if there is even slightly bad connection due to manufacturing tolerances or some other issue it's going to catch fire
that was an issue with 12VHPWR, 12V-2x6 has longer pins
>current sensing and balancing like the old 8 pin connectors
current sensing is not the cable's job, ASUS cards have per-wire sensing as a premium feature
>Maybe they do have balancing and current sensing on something as expensive as a RTX PRO 6000
of course not, workstations are expected to be assembled correctly, if you cut one of the power wires and the rest of them melt - it's your problem

>>108626346
>at the cost of literally nothing because there's nothing wrong with 12V-2x6
ok, you're just a fucking shill at this point, go fuck yourself

>>108626346
>current sensing is not the cable's job, ASUS cards have per-wire sensing as a premium feature
That's what I'm talking about, retard. The cards don't have current sensing per wire when using the new connector. All cards used to sense current per wire on the 8 pin.

>>108626288
Yes it does.
A greater differential in temperature leads to faster transfer of said heat.
It's all about heat build up and heat dissipation.

>>108625460
yea so it doesn't get too hot :)

I have designed a much thicker beefier setup that will prevent this issue.

How did nvidia spend so much money on AI slop that they couldn't hire an electrician to tell them those wires are too small for the power going through them?

Sometimes I'm starting to consider eugenics seriously...

>>108625441
idgi what is this? how would you screw in the 2 circular connectors on the side if you're plugging the main connector straight in
