Chinese Firm Unveils 12VHPWR GPU Angled Adapter With Built-In Screen for Power and Temperature Monitoring
The 12VHPWR power connector has been a subject of concern in the PC hardware community due to widespread reports of overheating and melting issues, particularly affecting NVIDIA’s RTX 40 series GPUs. In response, a Chinese manufacturer has introduced a new 12VHPWR angled adapter featuring an integrated display for real-time power and temperature monitoring, as well as an active cooling mechanism.
Enhanced Safety and Monitoring for GPU Power Delivery
This newly developed angled adapter provides real-time insights into power consumption and temperature levels, allowing users to detect anomalies before they lead to hardware failure. The adapter also incorporates an integrated cooling fan designed to regulate operating temperatures and reduce the risk of overheating during high-power workloads.
The adapter is currently available for purchase on the Chinese marketplace Taobao for 219 RMB (approximately $30 USD).

Compatibility and Considerations
The manufacturer specifies that this adapter is designed exclusively for NVIDIA’s RTX 40 series GPUs (Ada Lovelace architecture). It is not compatible with the upcoming RTX 50 series, and its functionality with other GPU models remains untested. Users should exercise caution when considering its application beyond the intended compatibility range.
Key Features
Real-time monitoring display provides live data on temperature and power consumption
Proactive overheating prevention helps users identify power anomalies before they become critical
Integrated cooling system includes an active fan to maintain stable operating temperatures
Angled design improves cable management and reduces mechanical stress on the GPU power connector
Market Availability and Future Prospects
Currently, there is no confirmation regarding global availability, and the adapter has yet to be reviewed by mainstream technology publications. However, given the ongoing concerns surrounding 12VHPWR connector reliability, this product could be of interest to PC enthusiasts looking for additional power monitoring and thermal management solutions.
