Ampinel Alarm 1 when playing Cyberpunk 2077, but not in the benchmark

Wednesday, May 20th 2026, 5:12pm

Hi all,
I've had my Ampinel for about 3-4 weeks. I have not played a ton on my computer, but I did play cyberpunk about 2-3 hours efter attaching the Ampinel. I had some time today, where I could play. Just before starting, I updated Aquasuite to X.93, and that prompted a firmware update of the Ampinel. First, I had to reboot and disconnect power for the update to work, but in the end the firmware update was succesful.
However, after the latest update I now have problems:
  1. Current pin 2 on input is now yellow
  2. Pin 2 generally supplies 1/2 the current of the other connectors.
  3. I now get differential current alarms when I play cyberpunk. I get them within 1-2 minutes of playing the game. Nothing interesting is happening on the screen. From what I can see it is the differential between pin 6 and pin 2 that are too high
  4. If I run the cable benchmark inside aquasuite, I get no alarms - even at 602W power draw.

What should I do next? Should I try and fiddle with the cables?
Could the firmwareupdate of the ampinel have made it more sensitive? Everything seems quite normal, even the connector temps are not that high, 42 C or so
I currently am in the phone, but can provide screenshots.
System:
9800x3d
X870 Tomahawk
64 GB corsair DDR6000 RAM
Inno3d frostbite 5090
MORA IV 400

This cannot have anything to do with the firmware update as not a single line of code was changed in that regard.

The only useful thing you can do is to reinsert the AMPINEL or power cable (depending on which side the problem is shown on).
