Konklusion
Spire PowerFuse er bare en sikring, men det er nu heller ikke så dårligt, hvis man har betalt meget for sit grafikkort. At den mindsker ripple noise er fint nok, men det problem burde man ikke have, hvis man køber en ordentlig strømforsyning - hvilket man selvfølgelig gør. Det rigtig fine er, at den er en genbrugssikring, som kan redde dit grafikkort fra de udsving i lysnettet, som strømforsyningen ikke kan beskytte mod.

Selve det at indbygge en sikring i et elektrisk kredsløb er bestemt ikke nogen ny idé. Men at lave en sikring til grafikkortet er faktisk en rigtig god idé, som så vidt jeg ved ikke er udført før. Teknologien er ret simpel, men den gør arbejdet godt. Og nogle gange er de mest simple opfindelser de mest geniale.
Design/Layout: 3 -
Designet er meget pænt og funktionelt, og kan godt give lidt bling i vinduet. Men efter min mening er det ret ligegyldigt.
Ydelse: 5 -
Det er svært at teste et produkt som PowerFuse fuldt ud - men så vidt jeg var i stand til at teste det, virker det fuldstændig efter hensigten.
Pris: N/A -
Det er ikke lykkedes mig at finde en pris på Spire PowerFuse nogen steder. Og prisen vil være meget afgørende for, hvor brugbar PowerFuse er. På moderne high-end grafikkort skal man ofte bruge to 6pins stik, hvilket vil sige, at man skal have to PowerFuse til at beskytte det. Og hvis vi er oppe i SLi/CrossFire med sådanne to, skal der fire PowerFuse i kurven.
UK summary
The Spire PowerFuse is little more than a fuse, but that's really just fine, if you paid a lot of money for your graphics card. It also reduces ripple noise, which is fine, but that's not really necessary if you have bought a quality power supply - which of course you did. The great thing is that it's a reusable fuse that can save your graphics card from surges in the power grid, that your PSU can't protect you from.
Innovation/Technology: 4 -
To make a fuse for an electrical system is definately not a new idea. But to make a fuse for the graphics card is actually a really good idea, and as far as I know, it hasn't been done before. The technology is simple, but it works. And some times the simplest inventions are the most brilliant.
Design/Layout: 3 -
The design is nice, and it can give you some bling in your window. But in my opinion, it's not important.
Performance: 5 -
It's hard to fully test a product like the PowerFuse - but as far as I can tell, it works exactly, as it should do.
Price: N/A - I was unable to find a price for the Spire PowerFuse. And the price is very important for the relevance of the PowerFuse. On current high end graphics cards, you often need two 6-pin cables, thus needing to PowerFuses to protect it. And if you run SLi or CrossFire with such cards, you need four PowerFuses for your system.
