Since the USB hub is connecting directly to a laptop or computer, many people are worried about the motherboard will get on fire or burned by the USB hub when it’s connecting, so can this happen?
To understand this problem, we must first know the 5 major reasons for burning the motherboard:
- Reasons for components: the computer has been used for a long time, and some components are aging and damaged and cannot be carried;
- Dust accumulation problem: too much dust on the motherboard, which affects heat dissipation or causes a short circuit;
- Power supply problems: poor power supply quality, insufficient or unstable power supply;
- Heat dissipation problem: CPU and graphics card are overheated, causing the motherboard to overheat and damage;
- The motherboard itself does not work.
Above 5 kinds of problems cause a certain component on the motherboard to be damaged, and then the computer cannot be used, commonly known as burning the motherboard.
To classify, 1, 2, 4, and 5 belong to the computer/motherboard itself. Only problem 3 is the power supply that is connected to external devices like a USB hub.
So does every USB hub have the possibility to harm the laptop/computer?
Obviously NOPE.
When the USB hub is only connected to the keyboard, mouse, hard disk, monitor, etc., there is no difference between directly connecting these peripherals with the laptop/computer, and the power supply of these devices is generally between 5W-8W. The USB hub is just a protocol conversion and the role of data transmission, there is no hidden danger of burning the motherboard.
Then why does a USB hub with PD fast charge have the risk of the burning the motherboard and cause damage to the laptop/computer? The main reason is that for PD fast charge, most power is between 60W-100W, some hubs cut corners on the hardware, once a short circuit occurs after some originals are damaged, a large current will be sent to the notebook/laptop/computer for an instant, causing the motherboard to burn out.
But this only happens to a terrible USB hub with PD fast charge, our USB hub uses high-quality accessories (hardware and spare parts, etc.) to ensure quality, safety, and reliability, and protect your laptop/ notebook/ computer.
