Anyone who swings a high -generation high -end GPU such as an RTX 4090 or 5090 knows that representation power hemoths are heavy enough to knock out an aspiring PC thief. As the GPUs become larger and more heavy, the fall has become a growing conern for PC builders and GPU manufacturers, and Asus stops how aware of this problem is the company.
Asus silently added a function called “equipment installation verification” to its GPU III adjustment monitoring software in January. This set of tools included a measurement called “VGA horizontal state” that accurately measured the angle in what was installed was pressed. Users could establish a personalized warning if the GPU leaned beyond a user -established degree threshold.
In mid -April, the Taiwanese publication Uniko Hardware published a disassembly of the latest 50s ROG Astral series, which highlights what they suspect that it is a Bosch Sensortec chip. Bosch describes it as “a general purpose, IMU of low power that combines the precise measurement of acceleration and angular velocity (gyroscopic) with intelligent interruption characteristics activated by the movement.” Uniko hardware technicians believe that this chip is what drives the inclination detection tool.
Interestingly, the most recent mentions of this feature in the ASUS forums point out that at the time of the latest version of the Tweak III software, dated April 11, the equipment installation verification button is no longer there. Users had begun to inform what they thought they were false positives, trusting that their GPUs were level even though the software said they were sunk. Engadget communicated with Asus to understand if this characteristic is in disuse or if it was not a precise readings report, but did not receive an answer.
Whether the feature was for good or fishing to return, the risk of GPU falls is too real for many PC players today. The PCIE slots were not designed exactly with the more than six GPU today in mind, which has led the players to find creative solutions to support their huge graphics cards and potential preventive damage.
