>you're probably not going to get enough loose pins at the same time to see dramatic issues ... it's a valid concern, but it's a concern you'd see on almost any type of plug, isn't it? nVidia_12VHPWR_sweating_bullets_.gif (if unfamiliar, the 12VHPWR is the fire hazard found on some modern GPUs) ---- In the trade-offs of amps verse volts, there are tradeoffs to be made. Yes, I agree that amperage is the primary generator of heat... but is voltage not the primary degenerator of insulations/gaps (particular one so user-interfacing). In a perfect world... kids_phone_cord.frayed ---- Thanks for the great discussion. I'm learning/adapting. This oaf breaks.things.lots

I'm aware of the nvidia thing. But these particular pins have much less individual leeway, and they're a few mm apart in a pretty tight shell so you can't get the same kind of crooked install. More voltage has more dangerous aspects, but 48 isn't all that high and in a steady state it's not causing problems.

  >I'm aware of the nvidia thing. For anybody unaware: a product has been built specifically to avoid a "rated" connector from melting down brand new perfectly installed GPUs.
