yeah saw it over at tpu this what W1zzard said lol

i seriously doubt this can make any difference at all. vga cards are not unstable because of power delivery issues from the socket.

and $20 .. cmon ... $3 maybe and they'd still make a ton of profit

if your (evga?) motherboard doesnt work right without it, then you bought a POS motherboard that is not engineered properly

The device is actually designed to supplement the Power to the PCIe lanes. and honestly some cards pull more from the slot then they should and I have measured a drop in voltage from 12.1V (Idle) to 11.8V (loaded) with this installed the drop is only approx .02V vs .3 going to the card.... this could definitely help when heavily loading the PCIe bus with multiple high draw cards.

This can't be of any use...all the "experts" over at TPU have already declared it bullshit. ;)

I can see how this would help with stability thru benchmarks by stabilizing the pcie bus. Even with one cooky card that pulls hard from the pcie during trolls lair. "Stability" being the operative word.

Look towards the effect of pcie mhz on cpu overclocks. Again, system "Stability". Makes sense. Pricing is a bit retarded tho.

Dosn't this do what the extra 4 pin pcie power plug does on the R3? I heard that only 75 of them were made and new stock isn't just around the corner.
