Same could go for any recent Intel processor too
Intel isn’t melting molex plastic though LOL
Just increase the voltage. Less current, less heat.
higher voltages use more power and heat
Roentgens?! What year is it?!
At least it’s green energy, I think?
excuse you the plug is clearly red
“Not great. Not terrible.”
I mean their last connecters burned out, so it’s definitely an upgrade
I’ve used those for 208V 60-amp 3-phase power to racks in our Datacenter. Capable of supplying almost 18kW… those things are monster.
IEC 60309, they are standard for industrial applications in Europe
So barely enough to let a 5090 run in idle on your desktop
Trying to get a sense of scale, the 4 screw points on the red retainer look like 1 1/4in.
So are the prongs like the size of a thumb? 😳
They are basically in every garage and shed here, don’t you have these in 2-phase country?
Maybe a pinky.
But still, these are normally used for metal lathes and other big workshop machines like this.
Three phase + Ground and a fucking interlock pin. Loving it.
Now we’re just waiting for PSUs to provide a 400V rail with matching connector. Corsair, you wanna be first to the market?
Hope PCPartPicker lets you factor in the cost of calling your power company and asking them to wire up your house for 3 Phase soon.
That’s a regular high(er) voltage plug here in Germany, usually carries around 400V
Yup, using them a lot for 400V industrial here in Norway. We use those exact connectors (but without the interlock) at work.
My father-in-law has them all around his decommissioned farm.
There’s no interlock pin on these. The 5th is a neutral. Hubbell makes a few versions of these with an interlock system (these, but these are just 3 phase 208v plugs with ground and neutral.
The one on the tip of the plug is a locking nub, proper outlets have a power switch that will only allow the plug to be removed when switched off, otherwise mechanically locking it into the outlet.
That is mostly there for another reason, to distinguish between different voltages.
When a connector is meant for a different voltage the Earth connector (which is thicker than the rest) gets moved along the circle so it would be impossible to plug it into one with a different voltage. The nub stops you from just turning the plug to make it fit.
Greetings from Germany from someone who has used these quite a few times, mostly 16A and 32A variants and has never seen a locking one.
It’s three phases + neutral + ground.
ppl make this joke literally every time a new GPU generation comes out but i still laugh every time
