What is GPU Safeguard+?
GPU Safeguard+ is a safety mechanism designed to combat the aforementioned issues with the 12V-2x6 connector. It does this through multiple phases. First, the PSU detects a fault, such as a current imbalance between an abnormally uneven current distribution from the power supply’s 12V-2x6 connector or a sudden current spike that exceeds the safe load range. After a fault has been detected, the PSU warns the user of the anomaly through a built-in buzzer or through various software tools, which we will discuss later. The buzzer continues to beep for 3 minutes after the fault has been detected. I
Testing GPU Safeguard+ on the MSI MPG Ai1600TS PSU – solution aims to tame melting 16-pin connectorsIs Your GPU Safe?
The system worked well for us overall. The solution implemented by MSI is more comprehensive than simply having an improved cable that enlarges wire load capacity and reduces cable temperature. GPU Safeguard+ offers active protection that not only warns the user of an anomaly, but actually takes action to mitigate the risk of damage. Based on our testing, it works exactly as intended, but do be aware that we cannot simulate all possible failure scenarios or setups. If we had one nitpick, it would be the three minutes between fault detection and the PSU finally cutting power to the GPU. In most
