One of my favourite trends in gaming hardware of late is new ways of tucking away all those cables for a sleeker build. Now it looks like Gigabyte's joining the party with its own method for maintaining a minimalist look, as its latest graphics card has a hidden power connector.
The Gigabyte Aorus RTX 5090 Stealth Ice is a graphics card with a standard power connector—none of this back-connect motherboard malarkey—but said connector is hidden around the back of the card. The 12V-2x6 connector plugs into the PCB right behind the heat fins, as you can see from a cut-out on the backplate. This would presumably be more cumbersome (if not impossible) if it were using a smattering of standard 8-pin connectors.
