Press Release
Thermal Grizzly is pleased to announce the official launch of the first public software suite for the GPU power monitoring tool WireView Pro II, as well as the release of the first official firmware update. Both the software and the firmware update are optional. However, when used together, they enable full functionality of the WireView Pro II, including data logging and device configuration via PC.
The software primarily allows additional functions to be configured on the WireView Pro II:
• Access to logged data
• Fine-tuning of settings
• Setting the display start page
Following the completion of the beta testing phase, the first official software and firmware versions for the WireView Pro II have now been released. Several initial issues were resolved during testing.
Software 1.0.5
The newly released portable software allows users to connect the WireView Pro II directly to a PC using the included USB cable. Once connected, the device transmits real-time data to the system and enables configuration through a dedicated software interface.The software includes all core functions available in the device firmware, along with expanded configuration options and more precise adjustment controls compared to using the unit alone.
Main Features
• Full operating system integration, providing access to all supported WireView Pro II functions including per-pin current distribution limits
• Advanced configuration options with more granular value adjustments than firmware-only control
• Data logging and export of power and temperature data for long-term analysis, ideal for evaluating graphics card power consumption and current distribution via the 12V-2×6 connector
The software is currently available for Windows operating systems. Linux support is under development and planned for a future release. Use of the software is entirely optional, as the WireView Pro II continues to function independently with all essential readings and controls accessible via the integrated display.
The software does not need to remain running during operation, since all monitoring and control functions are handled by the hardware itself. It only needs to be launched when changing the device’s startup screen. Before using a new version, previously downloaded versions should be deleted. After downloading, the compressed file must be extracted to run the WireView2 application. The software runs as a standalone executable and does not require installation.
Software Interface Overview
The software includes five main views:Overview
• Displays voltage, current, and power per pin
• Shows errors and current measurement values
Monitoring
• Graphical charts of measured values
• File export function
Logging
• Reading and exporting logged data
Device
• Configuration of error display
• Adjustment of error threshold values
• Firmware flashing for the WireView Pro II
Settings
• Device settings including fan control and startup display
• Software startup preferences
• Display customisation
Firmware Update
Alongside the software release, Thermal Grizzly has introduced the first firmware update for the WireView Pro II. The firmware is included within the software package and is transferred to the device via USB. Installation requires launching the software and flashing the firmware to the device. After the update is complete, the software may be removed if no longer needed.The firmware update is optional and does not affect the product warranty. However, updating is recommended to ensure full compatibility with the new software and optimal operation.
Main Improvements in Firmware v03
• Enables full software control of the WireView Pro II, which was not supported by the original preinstalled firmware
• Optimised averaging calculations for more stable measurement values and reduced fluctuations
• Revised current imbalance alarm thresholds from 30 percent at ≥ 5A to 40 percent at ≥ 6A per pin. The alarm now triggers only when a pin exceeds 6A and the relative difference between the minimum and maximum pin current exceeds 40 percent, reducing premature warnings caused by minor load variations
Flashing the firmware will reset all device settings.
