Dubbed the GeForce RTX 4070 Megalodon, the ASUS graphics card is not powered directly by the power supply (eg via a 16-pin 12VHPWR or even via one or two of the 8 (6+2)-pin PCI-E connectors) but through PCI-E slot and proprietary connector design found in the Z790 TUF Gaming motherboard.
The motherboard is also designed to have all connectors (eg for connection to a power supply) on its ‘back’, which contributes to maximum cable management.
Of course, this motherboard also needs a box compatible with its configuration (GIGABYTE and MSI both provided motherboards with all connectors on the back and at a 90-degree angle).
The Z790 TUF Gaming motherboard, in addition to the classic 24-pin ATX connector (P20 + 4) for connecting to the power supply or the SATA and USB connectors, has three 8-pin PCI-E connectors plus a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector … need.
As for the special socket designed by ASUS, such as 16-pin 12VHPWR, it can supply up to 600W.
The company is now planning to introduce a GeForce RTX 4090 Megalodon graphics card that will have a similar feature, while its connector, currently named “GC-HPWR”, is expected to get an official name soon as the Taiwanese company plans to launch products regularly in the. market.
