A new device called Ampinel by Aqua Computer aims to prevent 16-pin power connector meltdowns in Nvidia graphics cards by offering active current balancing. This device monitors and regulates the current flow in real-time across the six 12V power lines within the connector. It features visual and auditory alarms, an OLED display, and customizable presets through Aquasuite software. The Ampinel is priced at €79.90 or $93.58 and is set to be available for preorder soon, with delivery expected to start in mid-November. Aqua Computer may also release a white version of the device in the future.
