The WireView Pro II is a device for measuring the power consumption of graphics cards. The 2nd Pro generation offers additional monitoring features in the form of per-pin power measurement, as well as an extended warranty and a TFT-IPS display.

The WireView Pro II has been specifically developed for the demanding use of modern high-end graphics cards with the 12V-2x6 connector and represents the most advanced iteration of the WireView Pro. As a patented Thermal Grizzly developement, 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.

Cooling
Due to unavoidable contact resistance at plug connections, high-performance GPUs generate additional waste heat during operation. For controlled heat dissipation, a semi-passive fan has been integrated; it operates silently at idle and is activated automatically as power consumption or temperature increases. The CNC-machined aluminum housing features ventilation openings and acts as an active heat sink. Optimized airflow through openings in the rear PCB supports air movement along all thermally relevant components.

The cooling performance of the WireView Pro II Wired can benefit from mounting the device on one of the intake case fans. The additional airflow supports the dissipation of waste heat, meaning the WireView Pro II Wired usually operates in passive mode.

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). This software is available in the product's download area.

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.
