Next-Gen 12V-2x6 Connector: Improved Safety and Design Replaces 12VHPWR

PCI-SIG has revealed the design for the 12V-2x6 PCIe 6.0 connector, which will replace the 12VHPWR connector and offer the same 600W power delivery while addressing the issue of melting plugs. The new connector will be compatible with existing form factor specifications and will allocate additional power through the PCIe slot. The specifications are not yet finalized, but the new connector is expected to be implemented in next-gen graphics cards arriving in 2025.

ASUS Unveils Connector-Less RTX 4070 GPU Prototype.

ASUS is reportedly developing a new line of RTX 40 GPUs that will not require traditional power connectors. Instead, the GPUs will rely on a proprietary interface that draws all power from the motherboard. The company showcased a concept RTX 4070 board with a triple-fan, 2.3-slot design and a new power delivery solution rated to deliver up to 600 W. The new connector is sufficient for even the most power-hungry cards like the RTX 4090. The motherboard and GPU will be more expensive than current offerings due to the extra manufacturing costs associated with the new designs.

ASUS Unveils Power-Connector Free Concept GeForce RTX 40 Graphics Card

ASUS has showcased a concept GeForce RTX 40 graphics card that doesn't require power plugs and uses a proprietary slot for power instead. The card features a triple axial-tech cooling fan system and an extended backplate. The proprietary slot is rated to deliver up to 600W of power and will use a special connector available on select motherboards. ASUS also showcased a connector-less Z790 TUF Gaming motherboard that features no power connectors at the front and hosts three 8-Pin connectors and a single 12VHPWR connector at the back. Both the motherboard and graphics card are expected to hit retail later this year.
