The 12VHPWR connector built up a pretty bad reputation in Nvidia's GPUs, but Intel may have found a solution to the problems it can cause.
The 12VHPWR connector found in Nvidia’s best graphics cards has had its fair share of issues. After dozens of cases of the connector melting during regular usage, the most common cause may have been found, but a permanent solution to the problem has been elusive. Up until now, that is.
According to Intel’s recent recommendation, there might be a way to avoid the issue of melting cables and GPUs. Intel suggests that if the 12VHPWR connector uses a 4-spring design instead of a 3-dimple design, the connector should be more durable and less prone to melting. Intel itself doesn’t have any graphics cards that use this connector yet — it really doesn’t need a 12+4-pin connector that can supply up to 600 watts of power to the graphics card. With only Arc Alchemist cards out, it will be a long while before Intel has to worry about this, but it will eventually need to prepare. For now, this recommendation could prove to be useful to Nvidia.
