Jon Gerow (AKA JonnyGuru) is tegenwoordig ook actief op Reddit en ik heb eens door zijn reacties daar lopen spitten. Als voormalig voedingsreviewer en huidige leidinggevende van voedings-R&D bij Corsair heeft hij een unieke kijk op het hele 12vhpwr fiasco. Een paar grepen uit zijn reacties:
"Well, since the sticking with the 2x 8-pin to 12VHPWR was my idea, I'm going to be a little biased. 2x 8-pins are clearly better because the Type 4 terminals are larger (4.2mm vs. 3mm) and more spread out which helps spread out the heat. At that time, I did not trust the 12VHPWR at all and figured if it's going to melt, let it melt on the GPU side and not in my PSU. Even with the Type 5, which are 3.0mm pitch like the 12VHPWR, the space given between the terminals is still better than 12VHPWR."
Over een vraag of de NTK terminals met veertjes beter zijn:
"No. As a PCI-SIG member, I can tell you 100% that the consortium did not endorse any one supplier or supplier's design. That includes 4-spring. The slides were shared with Intel, not Nvidia. And Nvidia still uses Astron 2 dimple. This whole 4 spring thing is all from the propaganda machine of one supplier that was unable to supply any third party test results."
en ergens anders:
"I know that most use three or eve four dimple and not four spring. There's a whole long drawn out story behind the 4 spring thing and why it was a scam, but this isn't the place for it."
