12VHPWR for GeForce RTX 40: GPU-Z 2.51.0 now monitors the 16-pin connector

Date:

In the latest version 2.51.0, the popular GPU tool GPU-Z has a function to monitor the problematic 12VHPWR connector on the GeForce RTX 40X0 (“Nvidia Ada Lovelace”) series of graphics cards. Meanwhile, the manufacturer tries to downplay the problem and blames the users.

GPU-Z can now monitor the 12VHPWR connector

While Nvidia blames melting or even burning 12VHPWR connectors on poorly closed 12+4-pin connectors and thus tries to shift the responsibility onto the user, CPU-Z developers now have a monitoring feature built into their tools.

As with the familiar 6/8-pin PCIe connectors, GPU-Z can now read and record input power flowing through the new 16-pin connector. However, the actual problem is not solved by the function.
