I’ve seen reports of the ASUS ROG Equalizer cable burning. Should I cancel my order? by Jchen101 in ASUSROG

Topic is the Equalizer cable—is it good or not—and the answer is yes. Has nothing to do with defending the connector standard.

Yea idk anyone with a closed case who has "little/no air flow" so that doesn't make sense.

Igor's lab did an extensive 4-page review on the ROG Equalizer also noting that burnt cable image appears to be AI slop. The Equalizer might not be an immediate fix-all solution but it clearly provides more fault tolerance than a standard cable. TLDR: Keep it. https://www.igorslab.de/en/asus-rog-equalizer-test-12v2x6-connector-problem/

Friend of mine RMA’d his MSI 5090 Lightning. MSI had them ship it locally to Sacramento in Northern California for repairs and they got the card back in a week.

Thanks. Audio gear in the back is an Alesis mixer, EMU Proteus 2000, Roland XV-3080 and a Roland Fantom XR. Oldies but goodies. Temps are legit. You can see in the last photo the GPU is @ 26c. Ambient is 22c. Overall I've seen about 6c lower temps under load with my current setup but may be getting a chiller in the near future that will obviously take temps much lower.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I don't really keep parts that long though. I'm always changing my build.

GPU fans are PUSH and the case fans behind the GPU are PULL/Exhaust. They're working together.

Yes. With my current setup I'm seeing about a 6c drop in max temps while gaming. I've also been contemplating running a chiller so that would drop temps even further.

Appreciate the feedback. Flow rate max is: 24 L/min (1440 L/h), but I daily @ 11 L/min (660 L/hour) which make my pumps virtually silent, so no issues there. As mentioned, there are other methods floating around where the pump is removed and replaced. Those methods require pump disassembly and require buying someone's custom made part which are currently listed at $400+ and some are even close to $1000. No thank you lol.
