We are going to see all the news about it, as well as the main reason and the cause of the poor security that currently exists with this model.
New 12V-2×6 connector
This is how the new NVIDIA connector will be called and known. It comes to replace the 12VHPWR, which causes problems in which it ended up melting because of the temperatures and power that used high-end graphics.
This involves a high risk, in addition to leaving the mark on the ground vis-à-vis the opinion of the customers to whom it has happened. That’s why this 12V-2×6 comes to solve all these problems, especially this last one. Prevent heat from affecting its service life and can withstand any conditions.
Previously, the 12VVHPWR power connector had a maximum power of 600W, with 525W coming from the connector and 75W from the expansion slot. NOW, the new limit for the 12V-2×6 power connector is up to 675W, with 600 W for the connector and 75 W for the extension connector. The two power connectors are clearly different. However, PCI-SIG has made efforts to help less experienced users tell them apart through the use of unique identifiers.
The old 12VHPWR power connectors will be identified by the H+ mark, while the new 12V-2×6 power connector will be identified by the H++ identifier. This must withstand 30 degrees above room temperature to carry this certification.
The 12V-2×6 power connector has the same number of contacts as the 12VHPWR power connector. The 12 larger contacts are responsible for transmitting power, while the four smaller contacts are the sideband signal sensing pins.
One of the most obvious changes is the position of the pins, which have been moved back to ensure that only works once the cable is fully inserted. This ensures a secure connection and avoids partial contact issues, and if the connector accidentally falls off, the graphics card will shut down.
So far it looks like the new draft establishes security measures never seen before in this brand and which provide important guarantees for the user. However, this also happened in the previous model, until it was launched and the problems started to show. Therefore, we will be aware of this new security system and we will analyze if it really works, as it should. As this is one of the most important points that we must take into account when buying a device.
In summary, what has been said, we will be aware of new news and developments and we will bring them to you as soon as possible, since we are missing a lot of data and doubts still to be solved, stay tuned.
