The PCIe power cable (8 or 16 pin) to your graphics card always seems to be a cable that is not easily manged in a build. Since nearly all cases come with a glass side panel, you're going to see it quite easily. This new power connector built in to motherboards solves that problem.
The goal of the new connector is to improve cable management and aesthetics by removing all supplementary power cables from the graphics card and providing power instead via the motherboard. This way the graphics card looks super clean without any power cables getting in the way, and cable management is simplified behind the motherboard tray.
New GPU Power Connector Eliminates Cables, Delivers More Than 600W
No more 16-pin 12VHPWR issues.
