If you frequently haunt the usual social media channels for PC enthusiasts, you'll notice that nary a day goes by without someone posting an image of their expensive graphics card, replete with a melting power connector. Various efforts to combat the problem have yet to completely nix the issue, but Asus reckons it now has the solution: one seriously beefy power cable.
Called the ROG Equalizer, it looks just like any other premium 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 power cable, but there's more to it than meets the eye. Asus says that the new design "ensures balanced current delivery from PSU to ROG Equalizer" so that you shouldn't get situations where a single 12 V pin has to deal with the full 575 W of an RTX 5090, for example.
