WireView Pro II + 5090 Master + AP201 = ✅
Making this post to confirm that this combination of GPU and case works with the WVP2, if someone has a similar setup and was wondering about compatibility. I received my WVP2 yesterday, 11 days after placing the order and exactly on the scheduled day by FedEx (I'm in the Middle East). Paid ~$37 for customs and clearance.
I have the Cooler Master V SFX Platinum 1100 PSU (an early batch that didn't come with a 90-degree 12VHPWR cable), and in order to fit the 5090 Aorus Master, which is officially not compatible with the Asus Prime AP201, I removed the case PSU shroud, rotated the PSU 90-degrees and attached it to front with zip ties. I ordered the Reverse orientation of the WVP2 because I worried the short 12VHPWR cable that came with the PSU might not reach if I got the Normal orientation. But looking at it now it seems like that might have been the better option?
Excuse the lack of cable management. I was in a hurry to test it and this SFX PSU comes with very short cables that barely reach via the shortest path. My fault for choosing this combination of SFX PSU, mATX case and ITX motherboard (ROG Strix B650E-I). The Aorus Master was not my pick for a 5090, I wanted a smaller card but got what was available/affordable.
The issue I have with the current setup is that the gpu power cable is short and stiff so I can't close the side panel without bending the cable 90-degrees at the PSU side. First I wanted to test the current balance with the WV before I bend the cable to see if there is a change after. Also I was surprised that I had to rotate the cable 180-degrees to plug it into the WireView. I thought I wouldn't need to do that based on the diagrams I examined and assuming the connector orientation would be the same just rotated 90-degrees but it seems to also flip? 🤷🏻
Before getting the WireView I got a 10K Wire Temp Sensor and connected it to the motherboard's T_Sensor port and wedged the sensor between the live and ground wires of the 12VHWPR:
I monitored it with HWiNFO64 and during a short gameplay session it reached 70 degrees Celsius with the AC cooling the room to the low 20s. That worried me and I refrained from stressing the card until I got the Wireview.
With the Wireview installed I put the short temp sensor where the previous one was, and inserted both the long sensor wire and my previous wire (connected to motherboard) sandwiched between the live and ground wires at the PSU side. I did this to compare the readings between the two sensors at the same spot, one reading from the motherboard and the other from the Wireview:
I updated the WVP2 firmware, kept all settings default (except display brightness to minimum/off; I don't like RGB or LEDs and turn them off on everything), and after 10 minutes of running Furmark 4K in 32-degrees Celsius ambient room temp (GPU BIOS set to Silent mode), this is how it looked:
Some current imbalance but not enough to trigger an alarm, which was a relief. Good to see the "External 1" sensor match the reading of the T_Sensor from the motherboard that's in the same spot (I wondered if it was accurate before, seems like it). But what's surprising/confusing me is that "External 2" (the short wire in the cable GPU side) reads ~44 degrees after 10 minutes of Furmark with 32-degree ambient, whereas before I got the WV it reached 70 degrees while gaming in a much cooler room! Could it be due to the position of the cable, where it previously was next to the heatsink vents, and now it's higher up and further away from the hot air coming out of the GPU?
I measured ~9mm from the WV to the outer edge of side panel. Assuming the mesh thickness to be 1-2mm, there should be at least 7mm space between the WV and the side panel when closed. I figured even if it touched the side panel it would have been okay since it's mesh, and maybe would have been better as the WV fan would exclusively pull cooler air from outside.
That's all I got for now. Sorry for the lengthy and image-heavy post. I hope it will be helpful to someone. And if you guys have comments or suggestions on my setup, please share them. Thanks.
