GoKawiilThermal Grizzly and Noctua release quieter WireView Pro II GPU power monitor
Thermal Grizzly has partnered with Noctua to launch a Noctua Edition of its WireView Pro II, a device that monitors current on individual 12V-2x6 connector pins to catch dangerous imbalances before they damage GPUs. The new version swaps in a Noctua NF-A4x10 fan, redesigned grille and larger CNC-machined aluminum housing to cut fan noise, running semi-passively and staying silent even under a 300W load in warm conditions.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Thermal Grizzly CEO Roman Hartung says quiet-system users had complained the original fan was still audible, suggesting this update targets a niche but vocal segment of high-end PC builders. Because the 12V-2x6 connector has been linked to melting and burnout issues on high-power GPUs, tools like this could become a more common safety accessory as such connectors persist in future hardware.
- WireView Pro II Noctua Edition combines Thermal Grizzly's per-pin monitoring with Noctua's quiet cooling design.
- Fan noise drops from 39.4dB(A) to 21.5dB(A) at 10cm, running under 2,000 RPM versus 5,000 RPM standard.
- Device can handle up to 300W GPU load fanless in warm, low-airflow conditions before active cooling kicks in.
Thermal Grizzly WireView Pro II Noctua Edition — This device lets you monitor per-pin current on the troublesome 12V-2x6 GPU connector, catching dangerous imbalances before they melt a cable. The Noctua Edition adds their renowned quiet-cooling engineering, so you get safety monitoring without adding fan noise to your build. Great peace-of-mind upgrade for anyone running a high-power GPU.
