Anyone have concernshe used cheap no name drives and not high quality drives from a major manufacturer? There have been some truly crappy generic hard drives in the past, so why would SSDs be different. Garbage in, garbage out probably applies to this experiment (in my opinion).

The sensing circuit would be on the PCIe card and not power on if load is unbalanced. The PSU doesn't need to change.

The PCIe card spec is the PCIe CEM (Card Electromechanical) specification <-- not just a connector spec. And it has all kinds of electrical requirements for PCIe cards. The PCI spec is exactly where this circuit requirement would be documented as a recommended implementation.

If you google it, you'll see several other articles from yesterday on the topic from other sources. Expanding their local presence in India. They currently do not ship out of India, but are planning to in the future.

You seem out of date. Did you do know the original 12VHPWR spec had an issue where you could partially install it and it would power on and get damaged? (yes, replicated in the lab) The spec was updated and renamed 12V-2x6, which has sense pins that do not connect until fully the plug is...

It is true that AZ is more reliable than TX. Arizona is #7 and Texas is #28. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/infrastructure/energy/power-grid-reliability

Either I'm really ignorant or the author is embarrassing himself as he insinuates I can take the 3D files over a any 3D printer and get a usable microscope. Ands with the limited functionality of this device, it's not going to replace any of the microscopes that I've used at work.

AMD always bragging how their latest CPU will beat Intel, then when it does they can't ramp production and blame Intel. Shouldn't they have been preparing for this? Someone at AMD really dropped the ball. Or they are have issues with yields and the factory processes and can't produce enough good...

I think this article is mis-titled. This new formfactor is 'cable-less', not 'wire-less'. What is the difference? Wireless power brings up thoughts of power thu the air. This is not that. How much 12v power does USB port provide = 0W <-- USB is a 5v interface. You cannot power the fans with...

I came to the article to see what are these "previously impossible" features and the article doesn't talk about that at all. That article needs a link to whatever article talks about this, or it really should be changed. Or was it intentional (click bait)?

Intel is going to sabotage their own product line to allow AMD to completely trounce them in benchmarks and completely dominate the CPU market. Really?

I was thinking, WTF is 'nerfed'? Had to google it. Never heard that slang term before. Is this a common term and I'm just clueless?

I show similar math 700W x 24hr * 30 days = 504kw for a month <-- assuming the full 600W quoted in the article. Per EIA data, US households are about 885kW per month. Other sites show 500 to 1000 kW. But overall, it still looks like the article is incorrect. Especially if we applied a 61%...

What many people do not know. If you refer to the PCIe CEM specs, the 12VHPWR is basically obsoleted and replaced by a newer version called 12V-2x6 power connector. I'd be surprised if Nvidia is continuing to use the problematic 12VHPR plug design. TomsHW even even did a story about the new...

Something is fishy here. I understand you can add a power connector to the motherboard to provide power to a card when it is docked. But where does that power come from? Seems like it will require the motherboard to have additional power cables from a power supply to provide additional power to...
