Monitoring
All safety-relevant parameters such as currents (A), voltages (V), temperatures (°C), and power consumption (W) are continuously measured. Thermal Grizzly has defined threshold values which should not be exceeded during regular operation, since doing so would increase the risk of thermal damage to the connector. When a threshold is exceeded, a visual warning appears on the display and an audible alarm is triggered. Optionally, automatic system shutdown can be initiated via the included splitter cable. The preset threshold values can be adjusted through the configuration menu.

Cooling
Due to unavoidable contact resistances at plug connections which result in power loss, additional heat is generated during the operation of high-performance GPUs. To ensure controlled heat dissipation, a semi-passive fan has been integrated, which operates silently at idle and activates automatically with increasing power draw and temperature. The CNC-machined aluminum housing features ventilation openings and serves as an active heatsink. Optimized openings in the rear PCB guide airflow around all heat-relevant components including the graphics card power connector.

User-Friendliness
The WireView Pro II is available with two connector orientations and can therefore be used with nearly any graphics card that has a 12V-2x6 connection. The downward-facing input connector orientation allows clean cable routing, since the device functions as a 90-degree adapter at the same time. The integrated TFT-IPS display provides multiple layouts that can be configured directly on the device. The device functions as a standalone hardware solution and can be used and configured without a software connection. Additional customisation and system reporting will be expanded in the future with software support. A corresponding update is planned for mid-December.

Automatic Data Logging
An integrated memory logs relevant operating data at regular intervals to enable traceability of potential error events. Logged values include per pin current measurements, total power consumption and the PCB temperature near the 12V-2x6 output connector (T-Out). A data record is stored every 60 seconds. The memory supports approximately 340 days of continuous usage or around 3-4 years of typical operation before the older entries are automatically overwritten. The collected data supports both failure analysis and the continued development of safer plug connections within the community.

Extended Warranty and Clarity for the End User
To ensure a high level of operational safety, the WireView Pro II includes an extended warranty that goes beyond statutory warranty and the standard manufacturer guarantee. Should damage occur to the 12VHPWR or 12V-2x6 connector of the graphics card despite the integrated protective mechanisms, repairs will be performed by Thermal Grizzly or an equivalent replacement will be provided if a repair is not possible. This protection also applies after the original graphics card warranty has expired. It is required for any warranty claim that the device is used properly, in accordance with the user manual and within the operating parameters defined by the GPU manufacturer. The extended warranty period is 2 years from the date of purchase. 

This guaranteed protection package provides maximum transparency and safety. The customer invests in state-of-the-art monitoring technology and can rely on Thermal Grizzly to offer fast and straightforward support in case of damage, ensuring maximum performance without unnecessary risk.

The WireView Pro II is a device for measuring the power consumption of graphics cards. This second-generation Pro model offers additional features such as per-pin current measurement, an extended warranty, and a TFT-IPS display for advanced monitoring capabilities.

The WireView Pro II has been specifically developed for the demanding use of modern high-end graphics cards with the 12V-2x6 connector and represents the most advanced iteration of the WireView Pro. Current is not only measured as a total value, but also per each individual pin and wire of the 12V-2x6 connector. This enables immediate identification of potential contact issues between the cable and graphics card. The WireView Pro II has been purpose-built to enable precise monitoring of the 12V-2x6 connector, allowing early detection of load distribution problems and helping to prevent possible damage to the graphics card and the 12V-2x6 connector.

 

Note:
The WireView Pro IIis available with the 12VHPWR 16-pin power connector (4x sensor + 12x power/ground) in "Normal" (N) and "Reverse" (R) versions:

  • If the graphics card has power connectors where the four sensor pins are located between the PCB and the 12 power pins, the "N" version is required (PCB - 4x sensor pin - 12x power pins).

  • If the graphics card has power connectors where the 12 power pins are located between the PCB and the four sensor pins, the "R" version is required (PCB - 12x power pins - 4x sensor pin).
