Hi!
I'm eagerly awaiting my Ampinel order to ship, but I have a question in the meantime regarding the escalation logic. I'm not that technically minded, but I'm confused about the relation between the load-balancing and various alarms.
Let's say that I installed everything correctly and I use the 5090 Astral to render out a 3D animation; I assume that the Ampinel will monitor and load-balance the power draw, so a melted connector can be prevented? So if then an (amperage-based) alarm is triggered, does that mean that the load-balancing mechanism has failed? Are those alarms a 'safety net' for when the load-balancing can't occur?
A short background: I've used my 5090 Astral for a couple of months without issue, until the Asus software gave a warning about the pins fluctuating power too much (with the per-pin monitoring the Astral provides). I made sure to use the native 12v cable from the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua PSU, and hadn't touched the cable since securely installing it a few months ago.
I'm aware that there are various triggers for alarms (such as temperature), but I'm mostly concerned with making sure the amperage distribution is somewhat stable for longer periods of time (+/- 10-12 consecutive hours).
Thanks in advance for your input!

Thanks for your response! A quick follow-up: I received the Ampinel last week and I've used it quite extensively while rendering an animation. It seems to work great! However, I also noticed that sometimes pin-6 turns orange; the explanation states: 'increased contact resistance or load'. I kept monitoring the rendering process, and eventually the pin turned green again (without my interference on a software or hardware level).
What might be the reason for this recovery?
