Because the melting of 16-pin connectors does not only affect NVIDIA

In the sequence, we can see very clearly that the melting affected the socket of the power adapter as much as the connector present on the graphics card. A single strand paid the price.

Once again, we can legitimately assume that the intensity of the electrical current has been poorly distributed across the entire 16-pin connector. One of the strands found itself with too much load and melted. In this case, we are talking about the use of an ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W ATX 3.0 power supply, which is not in question.

Remember that ASUS has been one of the most active manufacturers in finding solutions to the problem. After installing colored connectors to ensure that the plug is correctly inserted – this remains the primary cause of melting – ASUS has developed a specific cable designed to better distribute the current on the different strands.The ASUS ROG Equalizer was presented recently and tested even more recently by Der8auer without him being able to understand the functioning of a product which seems, despite everything, to achieve its goals.
