Corsair launches RM1200e with per-pin 12V-2x6 protection, $204.99
The new 1200W power supply watches the current on each pin of the graphics-card connector and cuts power if it goes too high.
Corsair made a computer power supply that watches every wire going to the graphics card. If one wire carries too much, it lowers the power or switches the card off. It adds safety but you should still check the cable.
