Asus had a lot to show at Computex: in addition to new notebooks, keyboards and motherboards, there were also new graphics cards to look at. A new variant of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, with a special power connection, stands out.
As part of Computex 2023, Asus introduced a new motherboard that is based on the Z790-PCH and, like the TUF Gaming B760M-BTF, has rear connectivity. However, the manufacturer goes one step further and implements one New electricity connection For graphics card. This also makes it possible to hide the PCIe power cables. Of course, this requires an adaptive graphics card model. Accordingly, Asus has one in the same breath Compatible GPU Launched for the mainboard.
This is a special custom design Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, which relies on a new cooler. It is 2.3 slots high and has three axial fans whose exact size is not known. The design is significantly different from the cards currently available, after all it is not part of the Streaks, TUF or Dual series On the back you can find a backplate that extends beyond the actual PCB. Additionally, there are some cutouts to improve the cooling performance. Furthermore, it “Megalodon” characters Decorated However, it should not be the final designation.
An additional connector for power supply makes the card wireless
However, the power supply structure is much more exciting than the cooling design. In fact, Asus does without the usual one here 12VHPWR connector, instead you rely on an additional connector at the PCIe connector level The graphics card is finally powered by it. Connected via actual PCIe 5.0 power cable Rear side with mainboard Tied together this structure enables a completely wireless and therefore significantly “cleaner” setup.
