If you're a regular browser of any social media relating to PC hardware, you'll almost certainly come across a weekly occurrence, or three, of an Nvidia GeForce RTX with a melted 12VHPWR connector. Even though the design has been updated to help mitigate the problem, it's still an issue for some people. However, Asus reckons it has the perfect solution, and in a demonstration video, it handles over 1,300 W of power without getting anywhere near the melting point.
The demo on Bilibili is hosted by Tony Yu, aka Old Uncle Tony, the general manager of Asus' China division (via Tom's Hardware). Last year, Asus lent me a bunch of BTF products to play around with, and I came away seriously impressed with the whole idea of it. BTF or 'Back to the Future', is a design where all of the spikey connectors and cables on a motherboard are mounted on the back, giving the whole look a much cleaner affair.
