Smart Monitoring PC Hardware Launched By NVIDIA

MojoKid writes "NVIDIA has just introduced a new open-industry standard for real-time monitoring and control of PC power supplies, chassis, and water cooling systems. Dubbed ESA, which stands for Enthusiast System Architecture, the company hopes the standard will be adopted across the industry. A new wave of ESA compliant hardware that can be monitored and controlled via a standard interface could ensue, like smart health-monitoring power supplies and other components, that would increase system stability and reliability. 'The ESA standard is built around the USB HID (Human Interface Device) specification and has been submitted to the USB-if HID subcommittee for discussion and approval. ESA is essentially a hardware and software interface that takes data collected by analog sensors and converts it to digital information that can accessed via software. Below are a handful of slides taken from an NVIDIA-produced presentation on ESA.'"

Are you sure MojoKid wrote that? If so, he forgot to add the presentation slides to his slashdot submission. MojoKid does actually appear to be Marco Chiappetta, the author of the hothardware.com article. So he did write that, yes, but did a pretty sloppy job of quoting himself for the synopsis.
