Thermal Grizzly WireView GPU, 2x 8-Pin PCIe - Reverse TG-WV-P28R

Device for measuring the power consumption of GPUs For cards with 2x 8-pin PCIe and reversed connector orientation Integrated memory for recording measurement values Clean look thanks to optimised cable management Developed in collaboration with Jon "elmor" Sandström The Thermal Grizzly WireView GPU, 2x 8-Pin PCIe (Reverse) in Detail The Thermal Grizzly WireView GPU is a device for measuring the power consumption of PCI-E expansion and plug-in cards with PCIe power connectors. The U-shaped design of the adapter allows for optimised cable management for a clean cable setup. What does the WireView GPU do? The WireView GPU allows for measuring the power consumption of PCI-E expansion and plug-in cards and records this data to determine power consumption. This data can be used, for example, to calculate the power costs of a graphics card or compare power consumption with other graphics cards. By measuring power consumption, the WireView GPU can determine the power consumption of PCI-E expansion/plug-in cards over a specific period or in specific applications. Additionally, it can identify power spikes ("peaks") that can occur during the operation of current high-end graphics cards. The measured values are displayed on the WireView GPU's OLED display. Why a power meter for the graphics card? The WireView GPU is particularly interesting for extreme overclockers and hardware reviewers as it can show the power consumption of a graphics card in real-time. It is also helpful when testing the performance of a graphics card. Since no additional software needs to run to capture power consumption during testing, benchmark results are not affected by the measurement. When manually overclocking the graphics card (e.g. with MSI Afterburner, ASUS GPU Tweak, EVGA Precision), the adjustments made in the software in terms of changed power consumption can also be monitored directly on the OLED display of the WireView GPU. In addition to real-time power consumption display, the WireView GPU stores the measured data in internal memory to track the average consumption of the graphics card over an extended period. The stored data can be reset during operation. Which WireView GPU is needed? Regardless of the number of PCIe power connectors on the graphics card, whether 1x 8-pin or 2x 8-pin, the orientation of the connectors is crucial for choosing the correct WireView GPU. The WireView GPU is available in "Normal" (N) and "Reverse" (R) versions. If the graphics card - or expansion card in general - is equipped with PCIe power connectors where the retaining clips of the connectors are oriented away from the PCB, the "N" variant is required. In the normal horizontal installation of the graphics card, this would be at the bottom. The "N" variant is the most common type of connector orientation. If the graphics card is equipped with PCIe power connectors where the retaining clips of the connectors are oriented towards the PCB, the "R" variant is required. In the
