ASUS ROG Equalizer Performs Worse Than Standard 12V-2×6 Connectors, Der8auer Finds 4A Imbalance Between Pins On RTX 5090

Der8auer’s new test found ASUS’s ROG Equalizer 12V-2x6 cable can distribute current unevenly on an RTX 5090.

In some cases, the pin-to-pin difference reached up to 4A, and the cable performed worse than a standard setup.

Removing the bridge from the cable improved current balance and reduced the imbalance.

The results cast doubt on ASUS’s claim that the cable improves load balancing and raise concerns about connector design and contact resistance.
