PC Enthusiast's Next Stop is... 12VHPWR Power Connector with Active Fan Cooling?

Just when you thought you'd seen everything, a Taobao seller has unleashed what might be the most over-engineered power connector solution yet: a 16-pin 12VHPWR power adapter complete with its own cooling fan and real-time monitoring display. Yes, you read that right—we're now actively cooling power connectors. The $30 adapter appears as manufacturers continue struggling with melting cable problems on NVIDIA's RTX 4090 series, despite the company's claims of resolving the issue. The adapter includes an LCD screen showing real-time temperature and power consumption readings, while its 180-degree design prevents sharp cable bends that are often blamed for connection problems. However, unlike more comprehensive solutions proposed by engineering experts, it doesn't address the fundamental issue of uneven power distribution across the connector's 12 power wires.

The adapter works with RTX 4090, 4080, and 4070 graphics cards. Still, it shouldn't be used with newer RTX 50 series cards, as the sales listing doesn't mention any GeForce RTX 50 series compatibility, and the latest "Blackwell" GPU design uses an updated 12V-2x6 power connector, which still appears riddled with issues. While adding a fan to a power connector may seem excessive, an intriguing possibility is that we may soon find water-cooler power connectors for the newer 12V-2x6, so users can prevent their $2000 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs from melting their power connectors. Irony aside, power delivery safety is a growing concern, and no clear resolution exists. NVIDIA has reassured users in the past that these problems are now solved, but the issues are piling up as more users get ahold of their RTX 5090 GPUs.

GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5080 MASTER's Optional Fourth Fan Lowers Temps by 2 °C

The new ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 designs have attracted a lot of attention, due to an unusual cooling configuration that includes a backplate-mounted fourth fan. At CES 2025, MSI teased onlookers with a placard adorned with a GeForce RTX 32G "Lightning" Special Edition model—featuring a "FiveFrozr" cooling solution. A traditional triple-fan setup is placed in the expected shroud location, but two additional units are integrated into the card's backplate. According to recent reports and early reviews, GIGABYTE has deployed a somewhat related system, albeit entirely optional (depending on user discretion). The Taiwanese manufacturer sent its AORUS RTX 5090 and 5080 MASTER models to market last week. These premium card designs feature the company's new "Screen Cooling Plus" system. CES press material claims that the "extra air-boosting fan" grants more airflow.

GIGABYTE's fourth fan has flown under the radar, but major hardware news outlets have just picked up on initial impressions. Singapore's HardwareZone appreciated the inclusion of an optional extra—with their AORUS RTX 5080 MASTER sample—but criticized GIGABYTE's slightly undercooked implementation. Their reviewer did not evaluate whether the modular part made any difference in terms of reducing temperatures—instead, they opined: "to further improve cooling, the card also comes bundled with a separate 120 mm RGB fan that you can place on the back of the card to pull air out—a design reminiscent of the ROG Astral RTX 5080's built-in cooling solution. It's a practical touch but not an elegant one, as it means having to deal with additional cables to tidy up since—oddly enough—the card itself does not come with a power connector for the extra fan." GLITCHED.online, a South African tech site, took GIGABYTE's AORUS RTX 5080 MASTER ICE card for a test drive—they found that the extra bit of cooling potential made a difference, but it was "almost unnoticeable." We hope that GIGABYTE will send review samples to TPU's W1zzard in the near future. Will the fourth fan make any difference on the AORUS RTX 5090 MASTER model?

In Win Power and Cooling Products at 2025 CES: 2500W PSU with Four 12V2x6

Fancy a rendering farm with four NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards sitting on top of an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000WX platform with its 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes and 8-channel DDR5 memory? You'll need juice for that, and the In Win P250II is where you'll get it. From the company's PII line of ultra high-end PSUs, this jug puts out 2500 W under 200-240 VAC, or 1650 W under 115-240 VAC. It meets ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 CEM specifications, and offers 80 Plus Platinum (EU 230 V) switching efficiency. The star attraction here is that the PSU puts out four 16-pin 12V2x6 connectors—this isn't using trickery such as converting PCIe connectors to 12V2x6, but native connectors on the PSU's backplane. Each of the four is capable of 600 W of continuous output, and excursions meeting the PCIe 5.1 CEM spec.

In Win didn't put out the power distribution table of this PSU, but we're not sure if it uses a single +12 V rail. Besides the four 12V2x6 connectors, it puts out five 6+2 pin PCIe power, two 4+4 pin EPS, a 24-pin ATX, and a dozen SATA power connectors. Next up, In Win introduced two new lines of fans, the LYNX LN120 series and the LYNX LN140 series. Both are stackable fans, and feature mechanical interlocks that allow you to join up to four of these at the hip, to minimize cable clutter. The interlock is based on the USB-C physical connector, which relays both 4-pin PWM and 3-pin ARGB pins. The LYNX LN140 turns at speeds between 900 and 1,800 RPM, pushing 44.57 to 89.14 CFM of airflow, at 0.77 to 3.07 mm H₂O static pressure, and 14 to 39 dBA noise output. Its sleeve bearing is rated for 30,000 hours. The LYNX LN120 turns along a wider speed range, of 900 to 2,200 RPM, pushing 25 to 65 CFM of airflow.
