Is it just me, or does it not seem like the brightest idea to put magnetic strip (CC or other similar cards) cards directly behind a high EMF source?

It never damaged my credit cards. I have people concerned about it , but so far it has never affected the functionality of my card.

The answer is no. Similarly, if you in reference to cellphones being a high EMF source, it doesn't seem like the brightest idea to hold one to your ear due to repeated introduction of radiation from the phone (even if it sits in your pocket!). Moreover, card readers at retailers are a high EMF source (as are computers, wireless routers, microwaves, appliances, cars, etc.). As a general rule of thumb, you want to keep your credit cards and all other cards with a magnetic strip away from other magnets (particularly anti-thief deactivation pads on retailer's counter tops). I hope this gives a somewhat through answer to your question.

Hasn't messed mine up. I'm sure they probably thought that through when the created it.

It has not given me any trouble with the 2 cards (and Drivers License) that I keep in there 24/7. And they are the credit cards that I use for almost everything - so I'd know if the magnet was causing them trouble :)

I don't think it's supposed to make the card droop less(adding more weight would make it droop more). It helps keep the card cooler by passively cooling the VRAM from the other side of the chip. This is similar to what Arctic Cooling is using in the Accelero 4 aftermarket cooler. Card went from 70C to 65C with the addition of the plate, and it looks cool. I can see how it could keep the card from twisting, but EVGA would not have made this card if it drooped and damaged under it's own weight.

I think it works fine. When I didn't use the foil is when they got me. I think you have to be sure that the foil is on both sides of the card. I have a clutch wallet and I put the foil in the two area behind the credit card holders.

I just realized that the photo shown here is totally different from the well organized cardreader which I purchased from Amazon and which I endorse wholeheartedly. The serial number on mine is 2JAXQY. To me, any change in design is not going to be a change for the better. In mine, the cards are concealed and protected. I actually close it up and stash it, with cards stored in it. In this thing the cards are sticking out of the side in an unsightly and unsafe manner. I'm sure the USB connector is not retractable if that answers your question, Luis.

My installation of this card is in a full sized computer case..but there is a metal adapter that came with it..i presume which is a low profile bracket. The card is small..But i couldnt postively tell you if it would fit in the machine your talking about...I see mr herrera's comment and i would be encouraged..as he obviously knows more about it that I do..Good luck....

I didn't try. But even if it fit I wouldn't do it because it has a magnetic enclosure that might damage the card strips.

Keep in mind this is more a permanent wired in solution vs. something like a cig lighter charger.Also FYI, I've had one of these burn up and slightly melt on me. I'd suggest putting this converter in a metal project box just in case.

The magnet is strong, so I would say it's definitely possible. I don't keep any cards in the slotted side, since it looks like it would be a really tight fit. The phone cover/wallet is so great, I love it & am constantly having people ask me where I got it. I keep my credit cards in my wallet so I would suggest you do the same so nothing happens. Hope this helps!

They want a 600 watt supply for one. So figure about 300 watts each card. I'd do 900 watts at the minimum.

You could probably use these, I don't see it being an issue. But keep in mind it's not hard plastic. It's quite thin. It would honestly just boil down to personal preference if you ask me and would depend on the type of card.

I am not a professional by any stretch, but the only thing I can think of is: It only supplies 45 amps at max. If it is pulling max all the time, or crests over the 45, I can see why it would blow. I don't think this is meant to be a permanent arrangement, just a viable patch until the correct circuitry can be established. I would probably give it one more try, and avoid the microwave, hair dryers, AC, and or electric cooking skillets etc running simultanously.

They are probably too heavy for a magnetic strip holder. These are pretty heavy duty and durable.

Trying to draw 100% of the rated load of a power supply is not a good idea. Especially with these cheap power supplies, I wouldn't go over 80%. According to Joseph's measurements, the terminals are off the same bus so depending on the design, shorting them wouldn't help anyway.

I bought the seco-larm cards and, while they work, my old EMX CARX-20 Prox / Mifare Contactless Smart Cards actually work better. The seco-larm cards need to touch the reader to be read while my others need to be real close also but trigger much better.

You don't have to connect all three. In my setup I only have two connected to the card and I just wrapped 3rd wire in electic tape and tucked it away. It's good to have 3 antennas though for future proofing (newer cards usually have three connectors)

Typically, "NO." 1). The field of the permanent magnet is too weak to propagate very far beyond the ferrite attaching surface. What DOES propogate is significantly deminished. 2). The magntic field will "distort" -- to follow the attaching surface. 3). Modern, QUALITY electronics are generally sheilded as a part of their design. You are much MORE vulnerable to the "Vagaries" in your line power -- a result of a decaying, ill-maintained infrastructure.
