Thermal Grizzly’s WireView Pro II is a hardware‑level GPU monitoring device that sits between the graphics card and a 12VHPWR or 12V‑2×6 power cable. It provides per‑pin current data on a 320 × 170 TFT‑IPS colour screen and streams the information to the WIREVIEW2 software suite. Priced at $140.28, the unit includes active cooling to keep the power connector temperature in check and alerts users when parameters drift out of spec. The tool promises more accurate power insight than software‑only solutions, especially under heavy graphics loads.
