You need to remember that BTF is a pioneering concept in gaming PC builds designed to minimize or completely eliminate visible cabling. The BTF initiative is not an official industry standard like ATX 3.1 but an innovative approach developed by ASUS. The concept utilizes the reverse side of the motherboard for connecting components, requiring a specialized case with precise cutouts to accommodate this unique layout. the ROG Maximus Z790 Hero BTF, which have a special slot just for these high-power graphic cards. This neat feature allows for a more organized setup by removing the clutter of extra power cables, assuming the graphic card has the right kind of connector for this high-power slot.
The ROG Maximus Z790 Hero BTF motherboard isn't just about power; it's also designed with style and simplicity in mind. It has extra protection on the edges, making it look sleek and polished. It's built to be user-friendly, with features like Q-Code and Q-LED diagnostics that help quickly pinpoint and fix any setup issues, aligning perfectly with those who love a clean, minimal look but don't want to sacrifice performance.

With a 20+1+2 power stage VRM that can handle up to 90 amps per stage, it's built to support the most demanding Intel CPUs. This ensures that the motherboard can provide stable and sufficient power, even for the most intense computer tasks and demanding applications, making it a solid choice for advanced computing needs.
This design philosophy aims to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and airflow within the PC by routing cables through a 3-inch space behind the motherboard tray, only compatible with specific ASUS BTF cases. The system includes a PCIe power input located on the back of the motherboard, which connects to a dedicated power-delivery slot adjacent to the standard PCI-Express x16 slot, capable of delivering up to 300W of power.
