Unless you’ve got cablemod cables, power cables are the kind of thing you want to hide in a PC. Inno3D understands this and announces cards with hidden power connectors. The aim is to hide the connector as much as possible.
Inno3D: CGs with hidden power connector!
The brand is now offering a new range of graphics cards called Twin X2 / OC. This series will include RTX 4070, RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060, when launched.
As can be seen, the cards will adopt a dual-fan heatsink featuring a white shell with a metal section. The back features an attractive openwork backplate.
However, the most noticeable change is the location of the power connector. This is now on the back of the board, rather than on the edge as is usually the case. With this positioning, there’s no doubt that the power cable will be properly concealed.
Now, there’s the question of practicality. Will there be enough clearance around the connector to ensure correct connection? To be continued, but in the meantime, the idea is an interesting one, especially as we move more and more towards cable-free PCs.
