Any word on pre-order or release? It's been bit quiet on that front

Hello,
same question.
you've been talking about Ampinel for two months now.
When will it be released?
When will we be able to order it online?

Sebastian (Aquacomputer) posted an update in the German forum a few days ago.

"We are currently finalizing the firmware and the aquasuite.
Some features that were not included in the announcement have been implemented. We are currently slightly behind schedule."

Will you send out an email to the Shop's customers when it will be ready to order?

I hope Ampinel will be able to handle at least 720W of power. Otherwise, it would be useless for owners of an overclocked 5090 - and they’re exactly the ones who need Ampinel the most. By the way, recently we’ve finally got a VBIOS with an unlocked power limit for the 5090, so for many models you don’t even need to do a shunt mod anymore to overclock them.

And we haven’t even seen the 6090 yet, which may require even more power to fully unlock its potential. I’m also pretty sure NVIDIA won’t allow AIBs to use more than a single 12V-2x6 connector on RTX 60-series cards, so we’re stuck with it for a while. That means the only way to overclock flagship GPUs is to push more than 600W through that cable... and use a device like Ampinel as an additional safeguard.

56 A, 670W ist the absolute maximum power. The maximum power depends somewhat on the voltage. At higher voltages, more total power is possible with the current, and less at lower voltages.
Anything above this current always triggers an alarm.

Dear All, any news of shipping? This product is the holy grail for addressing 5090 connector anxiety
