What happened
Noctua has upgraded Thermal Grizzly's 12V-2x6 power monitor, per the Tom's Hardware headline: active noise is cut to 21.5 dB and the unit runs passively up to a 300W GPU load. The article text supplied here is almost entirely Tom's Hardware subscription, newsletter, and premium-membership boilerplate, so there is no pricing, availability date, measurement methodology, or connector-level detail to verify.
Why it matters
This only matters to builders running a 12V-2x6 / 12VHPWR GPU who want per-cable power monitoring to catch connector problems, and the text gives no price, no release date, and no test data — so there is nothing concrete to act on or budget for this week. Skip it for the segment unless you have the full review in hand; do not repeat the 21.5 dB and 300W figures as if you had seen the test setup.
Discussion angle
Ask who in the room has actually hit a 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 connector issue on a local GPU rig, and what they would want a power monitor to log — that question is answerable even though this article's body isn't available.
