Power wire-less motherboards pump 1,500W over 50-pin connector

- Terr_ 2y agoSo it looks like the idea is the PSU directly plugs into the motherboard "from the front", opposite the usual connections like ethernet jacks. Then the GPU is shares in this power via another special plug that lives in in-line with the PCIe, near the normal spot for a retention clip. It's neat, but the design feels kind of... brittle. Not as modular, everything needs tighter tolerances, etc. Even as somebody with some RGB in a window, I don't care that much about banishing all visible wires.
