Thermal Grizzly WireView Pro II GPU Wired 12V-2x6 for GPU Monitoring

Thermal Grizzly WireView Pro II GPU Wired Version

The WireView Pro II was developed specifically for demanding use with modern high-end graphics cards featuring a 12V-2x6 connector and represents the advanced version of the WireView Pro. As a patented Thermal Grizzly development, it is protected by European patent EP4250057. The "Wired" variant of the WireView Pro II is not plugged directly into the graphics card; instead, thanks to a 40 cm power cable with a 12V-2x6 connector, it can be positioned freely inside the case. Several included mounting brackets provide a wide range of installation options.

The WireView Pro II measures current not only as a total value, but also per individual conductor of the 12V-2x6 connector. This allows potential contact issues between the cable and the graphics card to be identified immediately. The WireView Pro II was specifically developed to enable precise monitoring of the 12V-2x6 connector, so that load-distribution issues can be detected early and potential damage to the graphics card and the 12V-2x6 connector can be avoided.

Monitoring

All safety-relevant parameters such as currents (A), voltages (V), temperatures (°C), and power consumption (W) are continuously measured. Thermal Grizzly has defined threshold values which should not be exceeded during regular operation, since doing so would increase the risk of thermal damage to the connector. When a threshold is exceeded, a visual warning appears on the display and an audible alarm is triggered. Optionally, automatic system shutdown can be initiated via the included splitter cable. The preset threshold values can be adjusted through the configuration menu.

Ease of Use

The WireView Pro II Wired features a permanently attached, 40 cm power cable that is plugged into the graphics card's 12V-2x6 connector. This makes the WireView Pro II Wired compatible with all available graphics cards equipped with a 12V-2x6 connector, including NVIDIA Founders Edition cards. With the included mounting brackets, the WireView Pro II Wired can be installed in numerous positions inside the case or on the graphics card itself, while three cable combs on the power cable make cable management easier and improve the overall appearance.

Several views are available on the integrated TFT-IPS display and can be configured directly on the device. The device can be used entirely as a hardware solution and is additionally complemented by software (WireView2-SW-1.0.3).

Cooling

Due to unavoidable contact resistances at plug connections which result in power loss, additional heat is generated during the operation of high-performance GPUs. To ensure controlled heat dissipation, a semi-passive fan has been integrated, which operates silently at idle and activates automatically with increasing power draw and temperature. The CNC-machined aluminium housing features ventilation openings and serves as an active heatsink. Optimized openings in the rear PCB guide airflow around all heat-relevant components including the graphics card power connector.

Automatic Data Logging

An integrated memory logs relevant operating data at regular intervals to enable traceability of potential error events. Logged values include per pin current measurements, total power consumption and the PCB temperature near the 12V-2x6 output connector (T-Out). A data record is stored every 60 seconds. The memory supports approximately 340 days of continuous usage or around 3-4 years of typical operation before the older entries are automatically overwritten. The collected data supports both failure analysis and the continued development of safer plug connections within the community.

Extended Warranty and Clarity for the End User

To ensure a high level of operational safety, the WireView Pro II includes an extended warranty that goes beyond statutory warranty and the standard manufacturer guarantee. Should damage occur to the 12VHPWR or 12V-2x6 connector of the graphics card despite the integrated protective mechanisms, repairs will be performed by Thermal Grizzly or an equivalent replacement will be provided if a repair is not possible. This protection also applies after the original graphics card warranty has expired. It is required for any warranty claim that the device is used properly, in accordance with the user manual and within the operating parameters defined by the GPU manufacturer. The extended warranty period is 2 years from the date of purchase.
