Thermal Grizzly WireView GPU - 1x 12VHPWR to 3x 8Pin PCIe - Reverse

The Thermal Grizzly WireView GPU is a device for measuring and displaying measured values such as power consumption, voltage and current of PCI expansion cards such as graphics cards with 12VHPWR power connection. As an added benefit, the U-shaped design of the adapter allows for optimized cable routing for clean cable management.

What does the WireView GPU do?
The WireView GPU enables the power consumption of graphics cards to be measured and records this data to determine the power consumption. This data can be used, for example, to determine the power costs of a graphics card or to compare the power consumption with other graphics cards.

At the same time, the measurement of power consumption can be used to determine the power consumption of graphics cards over a certain period of time or for certain applications. In addition, power consumption peaks that can occur during operation of current high-end graphics cards can be determined.

The following information can be shown on the OLED display of the WireView GPU

• Current power consumption in watts [W]
• Current power consumption in watts [W], voltage in volts [V] and current in amperes [A]
• Minimum and maximum power consumption in watts [W]
• Average power consumption averaged over 60 seconds [AVG W] and total power consumption [E]

Why a power meter for the graphics card?
The WireView GPU displays the power consumption of a graphics card in real time. This is particularly interesting for extreme overclockers and hardware reviewers, but is also helpful when testing the performance of a graphics card. As no additional software needs to be running to record the power consumption, the measurement does not influence benchmark results.

When manually overclocking the graphics card (e.g. with MSI Afterburner, ASUS GPU Tweak, EVGA Precision), the adjustments made in the software can be checked directly on the OLED display of the WireView GPU in the form of the changed power consumption.

In addition to displaying the power consumption in real time, the WireView GPU also saves the measured data internally. This allows the average consumption of the graphics card to be recorded over a longer period of time. The memory can be reset during operation. In addition to graphics cards, other PCI expansion cards are also compatible with the WireView GPU as long as they have the corresponding 12VHPWR power connection.
