Yeah, considering the recent VGA power connectors problems, what could possibly go wrong?

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

GPU power connectors run at very very low voltages - just 12V. And you need to have ridiculously beefy connectors and wires to run high loads at 12V. At 48V you can have 4x more power with the same wire (if insulation is rated for 48V).
