WireView Pro II without the auto-shutdown wired - am I actually protected?
Picked up a WireView Pro II for my 5090 (HP OMEN Max 45L prebuilt, OEM card so no per-pin monitoring built in like the Astral has).
Installed and working fine, but I haven't wired the shutdown splitter to the motherboard power switch header. So right now I believe I get the visual warning and the audible alarm, but no automatic cutoff. My readings under full load look healthy (check my post history on this sub).
So I just wanted to ask - is the alarm alone actually enough, or is the auto-shutdown a necessity? My thinking is that if the imbalance is going to develop, it develops gradually and I'd catch it but I'd like to hear from people who've had one actually trigger.
Mostly trying to figure out if I'm being paranoid or appropriately cautious. Thanks!
