What do you think? Cableless dream or potential propietary nightmare? Or somewhere in between provided case manufacturers and other GPU vendors adopt similar systems as standard?

Potential proprietary nightmare. Pcs are tools and aesthetically pleasing second. Why should I be tied to some weird cable format just so it looks better.
Imagine that got burned 12VHighPower connector. That’d be much worse to send that motherboard to connector replacement too.
Looks good but potentially more problems.
If they make it an industry standard, I’m all for it.
But if it’s a proprietary thing that requires an Asus GPU, Asus PSU, Asus motherboard and Asus case to function, and everybody else has their own proprietary thing, fuck that. We already have enough of this garbage in Dells and HPs.
Interesting—thanks for sharing! Looks like that all ASUS ROG guy will have to return his mobo and GPU 😂
So the motherboard will be delivering upwards of 600W directly to the GPU (on top of the 75W from PCIE)? Sounds like another reason to make premium motherboards even more expensive than they already are (additional PCB layers, traces, etc.). Also, creates another point of failure on a very centralized component.
If 12VHPWR taught us anything, it’s that adopting new standards for power-hungry GPUs can lead to unintended consequences. Personally, I don’t get the fixation with minimizing cables. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
It’s not cableless. The cables just plug elsewhere.
it’s a nightmare waiting to happen, no manufacturers can even agree on what “eATX” means, I can’t imagine how much of a mess it’d be to standardize EVERY connector position on EVERY motherboard form factor and EVERY case. Cables are there to avoid this sort of shit, this concept has never had a chance
I really like the idea – curious to see how it develops/evolves over time
Some mobos are putting the 24 pin facing to the side among others. Or moving cpu power to right there next to the 24 pin. You could put the GPU power there and run the trace through the board, or flat behind it. There’s ways
Ive always wondered why the hell they want the cables out of the front and not the side or back of the gpu.
Always bugged me idk why
this is a proprietary hellscape.
imagine the 12vhpwr issues except it can also light your motherboard on fire.
