ASRock has introduced power supplies with extra thermal sensors to address overheating GPU power cables issues experienced by some RTX 50-series owners.
Reports of melting power connectors on RTX 50-series GPUs have been cited, with instances observed on RTX 5090 and RTX 5070.
Tech YouTuber Der8auer discovered variances in current flow among the 12 wires on the 12VHPWR cable, attributing the issue to overheating.
ASRock's new PSUs, part of the Taichi or Phantom Gaming line-ups, feature two-pin sensors to monitor cable temperature and shut off if necessary, offering an additional layer of protection.
