Why did Intel/nVidia went for the new connector for 12v, 600w, and not reuse something off the shelf
Why did Intel/nVidia went for the new connector for 12v, 600w, and not reuse something off the shelf
Like, There is xt60, which is rated for 60A, so about 720w Some modified version that could be used Or, there is xt90,
And if you feel like it, use 2 xt 60 connections
Or, just 2 banana plugs would have been better, instead of this mess
Even 2 blades, like on car fuses, could easily handle that much power easily,
The new 12 pin pcie connector has 12 pins, with the adapter having 24 merge to 12, They are actually pushing more current through less surface area, and causing heat?
Can GN or LTT do a voltage drop test across the connector?
It will shed light on this whole fiasco

What ever happened to just having many 8 pin connectors? At least I know how those work and that they won’t have any issues.
