The adapters included with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series have active circuitry

We recently talked about PCI Express 5.0 power cables are prone to over-temperature damage under certain conditions, something NVIDIA discovered in its validation process. However, now the company has come out to explain some detailssomething that should clarify the available information and remove doubts and fears.

Among this information, it is explained that –in reference to Zotac’s annotation—all PCI Express cables have always had a 30-cycle lifesomething that does not explain the enormous fire risks that we have seen, but that makes it clear that These have never been connectors designed to survive hundreds of cycles.

Likewise, it has been discovered that the adapter cables of the RTX 40 Series have active circuitry inside that allows the current state of the power connectors to be transferred to the graphics card, something that does not leave the 4 additional pins useless as initially possible. believe. This would open the doors to active adapters that allow the 600W available in the new connector to be used.

The company has also advanced that, as we imagined, we will have to plan the installation of these cables with caution,making sure that we will have a minimum radius of 36mm available above the graphics card, something that should ensure that there are no bad contacts that could be a source of risk.
