Would be cool to make an adapter to draw the gold finger power from an adjacent PCIe slot other wasted sitting there, if possible.

I would 100% go this route if its available for the hardware in my next upgrade

Nice. I will give this a try when I rebuild if they do this for the Nvidia 5000 series later on.

Seems unecessary and almost useless. And i wonder how much Asus is going to charge for this...

Needs a 4090 with 2 years of intense gaming to see how it holds up. I wouldn't jump on this just yet.

The issue is that you are not supposed to draw more than 75 Watt from a PCI-E slot. Hardly enough for most GPUs to function on (75W + 75W =150W). This extra connector is supposed to be able to deliver 600 Watt of power, which would power even the most power hungry GPUs at this time. Of course the dirty little secret is that there is 12VHPWR connector somewhere on the motherboard for delivering all this power.

Not the BTX form factor again!

It's easier to RMA a GPU and have the connector replaced than your motherboard ^^

Yeah it will look nice but i wouldn't trust that connector for upto 600w, besides my computer could look like i've thrown spaghetti inside it wouldn't bother me because I look at my monitor when I use my computer not my case!, (it's not like spaghetti, it's actually very tidy with just the cpu aio pipes showing) visible cable management is easy the backside of the case on the other hand, it's been 12 months since i did it and I still have nightmares

I love the idea of this but I’m afraid that Asus is using a proprietary design for the “finger” that won’t be compatible with other manufacturers mobos. any case modding enthusiasts would like a more streamlined look with less clutter, make that anyone who has a windowed pc case. the fact is others will be doing the same thing and it would be nice for everyone if there were a standard.

Dont want to see the price of MB supporting this. Also isnt 600W bad for MB design and cooling?

Its the connectors on the back that interests me. The layout of a PC has remained the same for eons, its about time somebody drove some innovation for the better. We now have multi TB ultra rapid drives that are an absolute fraction of the size of old-school HDD drive but we still have cables all over the street, I don't want a 24 pin, fan headers or PCIe cables lounging around the inside of my case anymore.

+1 ^ This is exactly my gut feeling, Asus propietary design 😏 would make this dead on the water. But i really like the idea.

not if done well. it requires a thicker pcb and another psu connection as well as the socket for the "finger" so it would seem to be limited to ATX or E-ATX. the power traces wouldn't generate much heat if properly insulated - think of your ac power cord which has way more current.

The RTX 4070 costs 5289 Yuan (~$727 USD) as a standalone item. ( + $177US Dollars more than regular card ) The case is an Asus GT502 BTF chassis designed to work with Asus' hidden EPS and 24-pin motherboard connectors installed at the back. The graphics card motherboard combo retails for 6998 Yuan (~$962 USD), while the full bundle featuring the GPU, motherboard, and case can be bought for 8297 Yuan (~$1141 USD). Dang ! You need a compatible case for it too 😱 fok dat , lol ... Source - https://www.tomshardware.com/news/cableless-asus-4070-btf-now-on-sale-china-exclusive

yeah Chispy a bridge too far. there's one logical reason to need a special case - the offset needs to be higher or a cut-out made on the mounting plate. this is another reason to standardize - if the cases are standardized the costs drop and all the interconnecting power cables could be built in... even better with a psu using a new atx 3.0 connection. the the costs of the board and gpu drops and the case becomes just another specialty case - but that make too much sense for Asus
