One of the most exciting trends in the gaming hardware realm is the development of innovative solutions for hiding cables, contributing to a more polished look. Gigabyte has entered this space with its new graphics card design that incorporates a concealed power connector.

The Gigabyte Aorus RTX 5090 Stealth Ice boasts a conventional power connector placed discreetly at the rear of the card, eliminating the need for messy connectors typically visible on the surface. The 12V-2x6 connector connects directly to the PCB, positioned conveniently behind the heat fins.

Gigabyte’s latest offering is part of its Project Stealth, an initiative aiming to relocate various headers and connectors to the back of motherboards, akin to MSI’s back-connect design. This ensures users can enjoy a sleeker setup without needing to overhaul their entire motherboard.

Gigabyte states: “This new graphics card adopts a minimalist philosophy by featuring a hidden power connector design, facilitating unobtrusive cable routing and a neater build. This card is crafted for enthusiasts who emphasize aesthetic refinement and efficient assembly, delivering top-tier performance alongside an elegant appearance that enhances any gaming configuration.”

This stealthy feature sets it apart from the Gigabyte RTX 5090 Aorus Ice, which retains a more traditional design but incorporates similar aesthetic elements. As cable management innovations increase across the gaming hardware landscape, Gigabyte’s approach promises to appeal to those intent on maintaining tidy setups.
