Why don't they put thermistors next to each connector and detect conditions like this early? $1 addition to a $10000 device.

- kube-system 4y agoIf you correctly predicted that your connector would overheat, the obvious solution is not to detect the issue but to fix the design.

- kube-system 4y agoConnectors are not something that should ever get hot. Throwing thermistors all over a GPU to prevent it from catching on fire, is like putting bandaids in a box of cheerios so when the razor blades cut you, you can stop the bleeding. Cheerios should instead never have razors in them.

Cheerios should instead never have razors in them. No, it's more like having a smoke detector in a house. Sure, household equipment shouldn't suddenly catch fire, but sometimes they do.
