Thermal imaging of connector housings, wire insulation...

Something for warm-up. We’ll start our ATX 3.0 power supply tests with perhaps the most talked about topic surrounding them, the temperatures of the new cables with 16-pin PCIe connectors. The overview of the power supplies of twelve brands answers well the question of how the manufacturers handled which models. With high current loads, the temperature differences can be quite significant, both on the connector housings and on the wire insulation.
