Corsair’s 1200W RM1200e Adds Per-Pin Protection for 12V-2×6 GPUs

Corsair has launched an upgraded 1200W RM1200e power supply with PinProtect, a per-pin overcurrent protection feature for graphics cards that use 12V-2×6 connectors, according to Wccftech.

Wccftech reports that PinProtect can shut down a GPU to prevent excessive current through the connector. The feature is intended to add protection against connector melting, a risk associated with high-end graphics cards using 12V-2×6 connectors.

The outlet describes the RM1200e as the first Corsair power supply to include PinProtect. The available source material does not provide further technical details about how the protection works or specify which graphics cards are supported.
