Seems like these “industry standards” are not so robust.
“More bullshit afoot as power supply manufacturers look for excuses to cause obsolesence in one of the least frequently replaced parts”
Now, I haven’t read the article, but 8+8=16 so I feel like this issue could be easily solved, if only there was someone who could apply this numeric logic to psus…
How about doing a little DIY, removing the 16-pin connector and crimping two 8-pin connectors? Or, perhaps, connect a 16 to 8 pin adapter.
Might be possible, but DIY on a power supply is a good way to destroy your hardware by sending power where it’s not supposed to, or to catch something on fire by not doing proper insulation.
