thermal grizzly wireview wireview pro review a

 

    It's not every day that I come across a product that I've always needed and wanted and well, that's exactly what the WireView and WireView Pro GPU monitors are. Yes, they are not perfect and in some cases the OLED screen is way too small to read from afar (even up close if you’re at an angle) but it’s far better than not having them at all. Again, this is something I’ve been recommending to power supply and motherboard manufacturers (even some graphics cards manufacturers) for a decade now and even though some models do have them currently (at last) you can probably count them on both hands. Hopefully Thermal Grizzly will make a wireless version of their WireView (sending the signal to a small screen which you can position on your desk or your case) but until then both the WireView and WireView Pro work well (and since I used them while testing the new NH-D15 G2 by Noctua I can say with certainty that there are no clearance issues). On top of that with the rather recent issue some GeForce RTX 40xx series owners faced while using the 12VHPWR power connector (port and connector damage in most cases) has driven users to find solutions instead of buying one of the newer ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 power supply units using the updated 12V-2x6 power connector.


    So, just how much will the WireView and WireView Pro GPU monitoring tools set you back? Well currently the WireView retails for USD64.90 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 50.43Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) whereas the WireView Pro retails for USD89.90 inside the USA (Amazon.com – reversed version) and for 74.23Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Yes, they are somewhat pricey, and they are obviously targeted towards demanding users, but they do deliver as advertised and since I do consider them to be important monitoring tools the Golden Award is in order.
