"After numerous articles, explanations, and follow-up tests, today we’re taking a different approach. I have three intriguing topics for you: the possible origin story of the 12VHPWR connector, the deliberate ignorance of the originally intended 8-pin EPS connector, which continues to prove its resilience against defeat in power supplies and on motherboards, and a patented flip-header on Asus cards that playfully violates PCI SIG standards, often ending up delicately melted on the PCB as a costly demise. While this may sound a bit casual, these topics have, unfortunately, serious underpinnings."
