Hey all, thanks for watching my CES coverage! I sort of spoiled JJ's offer by making timestamps for this video myself, but I didn't want to post a 40+ min video without them. But I think he'll still honor it for anyone who wants to answer all the audience feedback questions he asked! 🙏
This time around sold me on finally digging myself out from the 6th gen processor build I had Frankensteined my way into all those years ago. Awesome stuf!
I watched the entire video without checking for timestamps by paul, then checked the comments to see if anyone took up the task to build the timestamps (I do hope JJ comes through with the motherboard(s)). I definitely saw a number of new items that caught my attention coming out this year and worth considering.
Since JJ asked: any destandardisation and "exclusive" connectors just inflate the landfill. To whom do I sell the card when I upgrade? What I would fancy is angled and recessed MB connector, EVGA style. And rotated dimm slots to the top, but I guess thats optional. I saw a gpu prototype with down facing power connector and (straight) cable routing inside gpu shroud. If ASUS wants to get really exclusive, how about a segmented debug display on all but the cheapest boards? Noone else does that... And not to be gloom-only, the oled displays look cool..
20:45 "Black Frame Insertion"... Many thanks to Paul and of course JJ. JJ do some more enthusiast level OC guides for like 14th Gen Intel, bring back the adaptive OR variable OC (in conjunction with ASUS's Ai OC guide accompanied) PLEASE! Peace
ASUS: Nvidia's post child of pedigree GPU's in comparison to the rest (which you have to admit are all below par and bow down to ASUS and the Tech Gods...) BTW, ASUS may still be ok...just ok...when it ultimately comes down to product placement / segmentation and the bottom "margin" dollar...while I hate what they have done to our beloved JJ in the ASUS America Region where he seems like a glorified salesman rougher than a true PC enthusiast shilling everything and borderline announcing that overclocking is dead...

Man ASUS got their plane tickets worth of advertising on this. It was a variable speed run of how many products JJ could jam in our faces for 40+ mins straight lol. JJ if your watching make that power connector for your video cards an open standard so other vendors can use it. I think even regular motherboards could benefit not just BTF boards. It really should be the new industry standard. Makes it easier for newer PC builders. Simplifies build process. Limits paths of failure. Assists in rigidity of videos cards. Possibly aiding in longevity, and RMA's. Make it happen JJ. Don't Make it a walled garden feature. That's Doomed to die.
ASUS = the debil. i jest, but 2024 is their year to turn things around. Not a good end to 2023, lots of backlash to a large company that has for the most part rested on past laurels. Hey I love ROG, but I also love getting my moneys worth, lets work towards a brighter future for all of tech!
Not only doomed to die but doomed to not even exist in the first place. Usually with ASUS youre lucky to see it released within a year if you see it at a trade show.
I totally agree with the points regarding the GPU connection, but, as a SFF enthusiast I can see this could create issues with SFF builds... 🤔 So both standards would need to exist
I expect to see these cards pulled out of Roman's basement for a video in 2034. The only way I see something like this ever taking off is part of some new ATX replacement standard. Maybe around the time DRAM becomes part of the desktop CPU package and boards remove expandable memory.
I love the GPU power connection being connected via an additional slot like this. I like the idea of moving all these connectors to the back. It's stupid not to do it with the GPU. The GPU is the most intrusive, and airflow blocking cable in any case (especially now that they're mounting the dang things on the middle of the cards). Otherwise the rest of them are 99.99% aesthetic, as the other cables are barely exposed on the airflow side of cases anyway (though that's still the only real benefit overall). That being said, I entirely side with Paul. We need standardization for this. All these companies, Asus included are doing it their own proprietary way. Likely with a bit of greed involved, as they hope to lock you into buying ALL their parts (a concerning growing trend in general with PC parts lately). If this is going to take off we need PC parts and case manufacturerers to get together and decide on a standard. Otherwise, from a consumer standpoint it sucks. Without standardization not only do you limit your choices and options when buying/building a PC, but later down the road when you want to upgrade or replace a part as well. Take GN's review of Dell/Alienware prebuilts for example. Because they all use goofy non standard motherboards, and power supplies, etc you can't replace/upgrade anything in those systems. It sucks for consumers, and it leads to more e-waste. All you companies need to suck it up and come together, or some third party needs to do it for you. If nothing else, having standardization minimizes a companies risk if an issue arrises with the connector. Look at the already massive amount of issues with the 12hvr connector. Nvidia is getting blamed, and they didn't even design it. Imagine the blowback for Asus if there is an issue like that with one of these connectors they entirely designed.
I kinda love that BTF design and wish ASUS all the best in getting more partners building cases with that in mind. As someone who just built a new PC in a heavy, beast of a case (the 7000d) it sure would have been nice to just work from the backside for wiring up everything.
Cheers JJ, Appreciate the info.

(Pauls Question) Would you be willing to buy a paired-for-life BTF Motherboard and Graphics Card (9:29) 1, Square 2, Hard 3, BTF is mostly about aesthetics, so a bit more for a better look is good by me 4, 45 inch, 3440x1440, 240Hz OLED 5, Yes 6, Linear 7, Boom 8, Yes 9, Not until it's more established. Although not necessarily "paired for life", until I could be confident that I wouldn't need to make performance or aesthetic compromises to remain in the BTF segment I won't be comfortable making BTF purchases. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: Good time (next couple of months) to pick up the Strix AIO’s at a discount. (3:19) The white z790 Formula build with the WB CPU cooler lists Kingston FURY Renegade RGB RAM but is actually using Corsair Dominator Titanium (RGB) RAM.

Looking forward to a next high quality BTF Motherboard with 4090 BTF and a WHITE BTF Hyperion For a Horizontal mount BTF card, ASUS (or Partners) will need a special BTF Extension brackets HINT! Solder pins should either be able to cut or use shorter pins in the connectors OR have some (ASUS LOGO) plastic cover over the pins if not covered up with the Motherboard extended Aluminum front plates used as cooling for the M.2. SSD’s. Love the TUF Fan Controller and TR120 FANs shown. Monitor 27-Inch, 1440 Resolution, 144Hz. Love the Monitor Arm. Does it come with ARGB? The ALB1 new RGB Lightbar, I noticed in the video the individual LEDs too much, can that not be more evenly diffused? Does it get powered by USB from a Monitor or has it separate power block? Indeed more functionality in the Display Widget Software for say AURA ARGB would be nice too. Add a small Display above it for AIDA64 lol ?! Keyboard: TEAM Linear, Softly 😊 BTW: ROG Carnyx Microphone (with RGB!) how about making The ROG EYE symbol on a round disk that is spring seated so it can be gently pulled and rotated if used on a Boom. Small detail but that popped up while watching… It is fun for me to see so many things showing that I’ve asked or mentioned during the DIY streams over the year(s) come to life. The Echo JJ of negative response makes me laugh now. White Cases, AIO 420, BTF (BIG FAN) Any who, beautiful goodies and more to come, I’m sure. Two thumbs up. Have a great evening Time for some eye shut. Greetings Michael Braun AKA NAMOR5000

1. Square or Circle AIO? (2:20) Circle for life! Reducing the footprint of the cooler makes it easier to plug in connectors to the motherboard. 2. Soft-line tubing or Hard-line tubing for custom loop water cooling? (4:10) I have yet to do a custom loop PC, but soft tubing seems more beginner friendly. 3. Are exposed solder points okay on the front of a motherboard? (13:00) Since I'm a computer engineer, I think PCs look best with solder points visible. I'm fine with a heatsink covering solder for better performance, but hiding solder for an a e s t h e t i c feels silly. 4. Screen size, resolution, and refresh rate? (16:30) Dual 27 inch 1440p 144 Hz monitors but once DisplayPort 2.1 is prevalent its time to upgrade. 5. Clicky or silent keys? (29:00) I've been team clicky ever since finding out about mechanical keyboards, but tactile silent switches are the dream! 6. Boom arm or desktop microphone? (32:40) Boom arm for life! Its convenient to easily move a mic out of the way when not in use and frees up valuable desk real estate.

I am a asus kind of guy so if I went with a btf system I would be fine with the changes. But I also know I’m not going to change from an asus mobo to another vendor. The cases are what I’m curious about.
Timestamps! Love the new monitors JJ 5:21 ASUS BTF (Back to Front) Ecosystem - settling our beef 10:47 TUF Series BTF Motherboard and GPU will launch first
JJ Question Feedback: 1. Team Circle for the AIO block 2. BTF seems like a great concept and design. Definitely in the early stages, but I would like to see every company incorporate this option. 3. Ultrawide 32in, 1440p, 180hz. 4. BFI seemed interesting to look at. 5. Yes, update the software for the ASUS light bar to mirror the color on the screen. It would be a nice touch for people who want to use it. 6. Dual-Mode OLED sounds interesting, and I like it. It's like having two monitors in one. One for single-player games and the other for competitive gaming. 7. Team linear for keyboards. 8. I use a boom arm for my microphone. 9. Yes, lol. I have done the two-hand approach when inserting my GPU.

Time stamp JJ questions - 2:23 - Are you team square or team circle? I am team square for sure! - 4:17 - Are you team soft or hard tubing? Soft tubing for me. - 9:37 - (that one from Paul but I'll add it) Would you bvuy an Asus BTF Motherboard and GPU? Yes I think so, I am very much into estetics and I think this is one of the best inovation I have seen in a while. - 16:38 - What's your screen size, resolution and refresh rate you are running? 34in Ultrawide, 3440-1440, 165 htz. - 20:47 - Did you know that all our new monitors that we are showing have black frame insertion as part of our OLED implementation? No, I had no idea - 29:05 - For keyboards keys, are you guys team clicky or team linear? Linear here, I like smooth and quiet keys
That was an AWESOME Presentation!!1 GREAT JOB JJ!!!! I've always looked at ASUS as a high quality brand, and with some of the new stuff I am even more impressed! I LOVE the BTF system!! (they aren't the only company doing it either, but they don't call it BTF :D) AND I like the idea of the mobo/GPU power delivery.. you don't have to worry about moving your sketchy 12VHP wire and melting something because you have the connector in the back compartment of your case where you can use cable ties to make sure it stays in place instead of doing that in the front where it would be ugly AF - but ASUS NEEDS TO LICENCE THE TECH CHEAPLY TO GET ALL MOBO, GPU, AND CASE MFGRS ON BOARD!!! It will NEVER TAKE OFF and get CANCELLED after 2 years if they don't allow competitors 'rent' the tech... DON'T BE STINGEY ASUS... SHARE THE TECH SO IT BECOMES POPULAR!!! :)
22:47 JJ still as honest as he's been since the beginning... It's like JJ is fighting for us, not Asus! :P Lots of respect for you man, heard a bunch of other things you were willing to tell the truth about, and that is truly something amazing to see today. Thank you JJ, keep up the great work! ;)
#1 thing I'd like to see become industry standard is the implementation of BTF CPU connections. Always a pain to plug in those in so I'd like to see those become the norm
JJ !!! All the technical terms coming out seem so natural... "Sell ice to an Eskimo" vibes, your friendly sales' rep "friend"... Doesn't feel condescending like some sales' rep of"high-end" goods, if you know what I mean... Would have as a friend 11/10
JJ Its the most amazing human being, hardworker, lovely person and very nice person to talk to. praps to him, he went all and beyond in this video.. and yes, Asus data was LOT.. love it!
BTF is awesome and I love it. In regards to the exposed solder points on the front of the board, just offer a more budget friendly BTF board with like a dab of poly-vinyl to hide them and prevent shorts. Kind of like how Asrock has their Taichi-lite motherboard. That way y'all wouldn't have to tool&die for plastic shrouding. mATX BTF case(s) with a repositional front I/O (top, bottom, or around the undercarrige like the Lian Li O11's) , and mATX motherboard options , please. . . Wow, JJ! . . exciting stuff from ASUS. ~~ air cooler but if I went liquid then soft tube for sure, 32" 1440p 165hz, I really like the ProArt line of products, And please consider a 32-ish" 4:3 ratio, ProArt monitor with at least 1440p 120hz freesync, and an integrated front facing USB hub, so I don't need multiple monitors for gaming and CC work. Yea I know, I'm asking a lot, just some things to consider . . . Thanks Guys.

First off, JJ did an awesome job handling the info spiel, managing the crowd as he moved, and keeping the audience involved; Asus, promote him! - Team circle or square? Shapes are shapes... - BTF.. As long as both options are supported, let's go. - Team hard tubing or soft tubing? Soft... but that's not what she said. - What resolution and refresh rate are people running? 1440, 120 - Lighbar Meh, who needs em. Turn on the lights weirdo! - Are you team clicky or team linear? Clicks are king. - Team boom arm or desktop stand for mics? Boom baby! - GPU Yeah, simplify that... but don't go all Dell on us!
I’ve just started gaming on 50” 4k TV instead of monitors. The refresh rate is low of course, but gaming from the couch is much better than from the chair. Many games I play can’t touch more than 60fps anyway. I’m still looking into large format gaming display (what is it called again? BFD ??).
Will that BTF replacement slot for the 12VHPWR also burn out all the same due to poor connection or electrical resistance? Those contact points are flat, and who knows if it can handle the current passing through it. That, and the mobo slot where it's going into. 600W is a lot for PCB traces to handle, even if its spread out. On monitors, will ASUS also launch a 45" version of that 21:9 ultrawide OLED? After all, Corsair and ACER already have them using that 45" LG OLED panel, along with LG themselves obviously. I'm holding out for a 5K2K version hopefully in the future, as an upgrade to my 49" VA; but for now I'm watching and waiting.
Keyboard ASUS Azoth .. ADD Hall Effect magnetic switch option AND and Aluminum Case. It would sell easily for $275. For typing I prefer Tactical switches; lubed and optional springs in the Purple Pandas.
Paul you and JJ when you did your Newegg stint got me so addicted to building my own system I went for it followed all your ideas, amazing to to see JJ how he has been. the old i7 3770 is still at work to this day and of course the Asus MB, just updated from my gtx 790 Asus GPU to a gtx 1060 GPU, wish I could get the money back I spent back then, I would do it all over again. All the stuff out now is way beyond anything I would ever use, I do alot of 3D content creation but no gaming stuff. I am atm very interested in the new intell with NPU saving for the jump one day. carry on, great to see JJ amazingly smart man I always thought.
I have a question regarding 'BTF'. I'm a Mini-ITX computer guy who likes to have most computer stuffs as small as possible. So, as 'BTF' wouldn't fit on a Mini-ITX motherboard as they aren't wide enough, I'll guess there will be an adapter with a cable that can go from a connector on an ASUS motherboard over to the 'BTF' connector on the ASUS graphic card? Also, I use the 'Phanteks EVOLV Shift XT' Mini-ITX case where a PCIe 4.0 riser cable is needed. So, I hope ASUS can have a partnership with Phanteks so they can make a new PCIe 4.0 riser cable with the 'BTF' stuffs on it.
I've been daily driving hardtubing for 6+ years and had to redo my loop after each upgrade, had to do maintenance and still I love it just as much. It looks way better than my soft tubing builds
20:45 "Black Frame Insertion"... Many thanks to Paul and of course JJ. JJ do some more enthusiast level OC guides for like 14th Gen Intel, bring back the adaptive OR variable OC (in conjunction with ASUS's Ai OC guide accompanied) PLEASE! Peace
Here's a question: Will there be riser cables for the new GPU power solution, of will it be recommended to go to the old school route if you want to display your card vertically?
Hi Paul. Thanks for the 40 minute AD for asus. I found it to be quite informative and useful. And JJ was a well of information. One of my favorite products that Asus makes is their routers and home networking solutions. I wish you would have covered more of that. Hopefully in the future you will. If you choose to continue in the foot steps of this video with other vendors I would definitely watch. Just give us a heads up about any giveaways at the beginning of the video.😂 Take care.
I love the BTF funtions, I would say there is another plus for this, no high power conneector to melt or catch fire. I would love to see a Matrix 4090 with BTF
Hi, thank for showing us. On the BTF, I did look at uesless Nvidea socket, I would rather stick to triple 8 pins molex, it be more safer. Plugging Nvidea it got to be at least 30mm space from the end of the plug to the cover to bend the cable and keep it longer life to it. Hide that 480Hz monitor before Linus find it, lol. I had the idea using blade on the graphic card (Oh, that was long time ago when Nvidea intro the plug), I look at and are you sure it take 100 Amps through that blade, it is rather short, should be double that length of the blade if you are fitting 4090 into the motherboard and overclock it. , check it out. Love you all.
I think the GPU/motherboard power connector is... neat... but functional useless. Still have the power connector, but you'll never be able to sell the card when you decide to upgrade. Those cards are destined for 1 owner, then the landfill. The reverse connector motherboards are actually interesting as case manufacturers have been chomping at the bit for some new innovation, and this is it.
love those rog bone conducting headphones. LOVE those new monitors. definitely buying the monitor arm (and probably light bar). would definitely buy the portable monitor if i had a use case (travel, etc). the dust filter led built into the case is legit genius....much needed. gonna be a heck of a year for asus!
33:28 if the sound coming out of the NOVA earbuds matches or excels that of the Crinacle Zero for gaming (tonality, imaging, soundstage, etc) i'd say $90-$100 would be a pretty good price, $130 is just too much IMO
screen size 27 inches curved, 1440p, capable of refreshing at 165 but I hard set it to 120 because I was getting headaches at the higher refresh rate for some reason.
When Paul talking about the new standard come out with BTF I like to clean looks of no wiring in the front and I'm hoping for less issues with a power to the video cards with a power coming from the motherboard and but still we had to hook up the power to the motherboard that which goes to the video card which I kind of like in the back.
BTF MB yeah, actually, as long as the support from various case brands is here, lets go, is just moving a piece from front to back. For the GC it's a big no, it adds a whole coupling assembly and if your MB died you stuck to immediately buy a new compatible one and cannot you cannot just pop your GC to and to a random MB even temporarly, neither give it down the line to your friends or little cousin once you want to upgrade and everything .... really seems like epic bad move from my pov.
I love the idea of all hidden connections, the clean look, and doing all of the connections in one space making it easier, but unless standards, both motherboard, case and card makers all agree on and adhere to, it's just going to be another compatibility nightmare putting the user in the crossfire of companies who just won't work together for trying to corner the market in their favor, and theirs only!
I'm looking for a new monitor myself. The duel resolution monitor seems great but wish it was 4K 240Hz & 1440p 480Hz instead of 1080p at that screen size. I currently have a Aorus FI27Q-X 1440p @240Hz that I will setup with my second pc.
The ProArt case is a beast with some very interesting features. A bit out of my price range, but that's true of most ProArt gear. The monitor arm looks good too.
I'm team hardline tubing all day. My EK distro meant I didn't have to do any bends. As for the BTF situation, it fragments the Asus hardware lineup, and it restricts you to only the components that Asus has BTF variants of, and then the stock situation will most likely exacerbate this. I'm stuck with a Z790 Hero, and what if I wanted a Z790 Extreme? Or a X670E Extreme like the mobo I have? I can't get a Lian Li case either. Don't get me wrong, the Hyperion case is nice, but it's a bit too gamer-y for me and it doesn't have much radiator support compared to, say, a O11D XL Evo. It would be awesome if BTF would be adopted as some ATX-type standard across all manufacturers, though... sub-$150 for those monitor arms is amazing! My Ergotrons were quite a bit more.
I like the idea of the plugs on the back.......the limitations......a Template could be supplied to modify existing cases a good size case (metal)......and dremal.......vois la.
Great coverage, Paul and crew! The BTF concept is fantastic but without a standard or backup options built in I won't be touching it. Asus will need to work with other manufacturers before l use it and I say that even after getting an Asus mobo and graphics card for my new AM5 build. Edit: oh that ProArt case is fantastic. I do both work and gaming on my main pc at home and that looks like a great option for my next build.
I've been subscribed to Paul's Hardware for... almost a decade...? And this is the first time I've seen his last name. I don't know why but it made me happy for some reason. Also, JJ really took over hosting duties on this video
Hey all, thanks for watching my CES coverage! I sort of spoiled JJ's offer by making timestamps for this video myself, but I didn't want to post a 40+ min video without them. But I think he'll still honor it for anyone who wants to answer all the audience feedback questions he asked! 🙏
This time around sold me on finally digging myself out from the 6th gen processor build I had Frankensteined my way into all those years ago. Awesome stuf!
ASUS has some amazing products coming out! MSI had amazing products at their booth as well.
I watched the entire video without checking for timestamps by paul, then checked the comments to see if anyone took up the task to build the timestamps (I do hope JJ comes through with the motherboard(s)). I definitely saw a number of new items that caught my attention coming out this year and worth considering.
Others say none glossy screen that looks glossy
Since JJ asked: any destandardisation and "exclusive" connectors just inflate the landfill. To whom do I sell the card when I upgrade? What I would fancy is angled and recessed MB connector, EVGA style. And rotated dimm slots to the top, but I guess thats optional. I saw a gpu prototype with down facing power connector and (straight) cable routing inside gpu shroud.
If ASUS wants to get really exclusive, how about a segmented debug display on all but the cheapest boards? Noone else does that...
And not to be gloom-only, the oled displays look cool..
JJ is really a great presenter! Although this was a 40min ad it was really enjoyable to watch
20:45 "Black Frame Insertion"... Many thanks to Paul and of course JJ.
JJ do some more enthusiast level OC guides for like 14th Gen Intel, bring back the adaptive OR variable OC
(in conjunction with ASUS's Ai OC guide accompanied) PLEASE!
Peace
i don't know is paul will see this but, can you plz make a video letting us know if asus is back or not
ASUS: Nvidia's post child of pedigree GPU's in comparison to the rest (which you have to admit are all below par and bow down to ASUS and the Tech Gods...) BTW, ASUS may still be ok...just ok...when it ultimately comes down to product placement / segmentation and the bottom "margin" dollar...while I hate what they have done to our beloved JJ in the ASUS America Region where he seems like a glorified salesman rougher than a true PC enthusiast shilling everything and borderline announcing that overclocking is dead...

Mobooo!
@@landon8676 you obviously didn't watch the vid. they asked someone to,
JJ is an OG of the channel. I learned so much from him back in the day.
Man ASUS got their plane tickets worth of advertising on this. It was a variable speed run of how many products JJ could jam in our faces for 40+ mins straight lol. JJ if your watching make that power connector for your video cards an open standard so other vendors can use it. I think even regular motherboards could benefit not just BTF boards. It really should be the new industry standard. Makes it easier for newer PC builders. Simplifies build process. Limits paths of failure. Assists in rigidity of videos cards. Possibly aiding in longevity, and RMA's. Make it happen JJ. Don't Make it a walled garden feature. That's Doomed to die.
ASUS = the debil. i jest, but 2024 is their year to turn things around. Not a good end to 2023, lots of backlash to a large company that has for the most part rested on past laurels. Hey I love ROG, but I also love getting my moneys worth, lets work towards a brighter future for all of tech!
Not only doomed to die but doomed to not even exist in the first place. Usually with ASUS youre lucky to see it released within a year if you see it at a trade show.
I totally agree with the points regarding the GPU connection, but, as a SFF enthusiast I can see this could create issues with SFF builds... 🤔 So both standards would need to exist
I expect to see these cards pulled out of Roman's basement for a video in 2034. The only way I see something like this ever taking off is part of some new ATX replacement standard. Maybe around the time DRAM becomes part of the desktop CPU package and boards remove expandable memory.
You're watching a video about a giant trade show genius. Of course it's advertising. That's why ces exists.
Yes, JJ and Paul is such an OG duo that we all love back in the Newegg days!
I love the GPU power connection being connected via an additional slot like this. I like the idea of moving all these connectors to the back. It's stupid not to do it with the GPU. The GPU is the most intrusive, and airflow blocking cable in any case (especially now that they're mounting the dang things on the middle of the cards). Otherwise the rest of them are 99.99% aesthetic, as the other cables are barely exposed on the airflow side of cases anyway (though that's still the only real benefit overall).
That being said, I entirely side with Paul. We need standardization for this. All these companies, Asus included are doing it their own proprietary way. Likely with a bit of greed involved, as they hope to lock you into buying ALL their parts (a concerning growing trend in general with PC parts lately).
If this is going to take off we need PC parts and case manufacturerers to get together and decide on a standard. Otherwise, from a consumer standpoint it sucks. Without standardization not only do you limit your choices and options when buying/building a PC, but later down the road when you want to upgrade or replace a part as well.
Take GN's review of Dell/Alienware prebuilts for example. Because they all use goofy non standard motherboards, and power supplies, etc you can't replace/upgrade anything in those systems. It sucks for consumers, and it leads to more e-waste.
All you companies need to suck it up and come together, or some third party needs to do it for you. If nothing else, having standardization minimizes a companies risk if an issue arrises with the connector. Look at the already massive amount of issues with the 12hvr connector. Nvidia is getting blamed, and they didn't even design it. Imagine the blowback for Asus if there is an issue like that with one of these connectors they entirely designed.
I kinda love that BTF design and wish ASUS all the best in getting more partners building cases with that in mind. As someone who just built a new PC in a heavy, beast of a case (the 7000d) it sure would have been nice to just work from the backside for wiring up everything.
I can't wait to use them 5+ years from now when I need a new build lol (I just built a new rig with a 4090 like 2 months ago)
@@Mike-pd6np me too.. just built an asus rog build with 4090 back in september.
@Prabhu_njd sucks we don't get the fancy new stuff but at least our rigs will be elite for the next 5+ years lol hopefully
Wonder if you can replace the 12vhpwr connection with the 3x8pin connection
Cheers JJ, Appreciate the info.

QUESTTIONS (let them know in the comments):
1. AIO Screen, are you Team Square or Team Circle? (2:18)
2. Tubing, are you Team Soft Tubing or Team Hard Tubing? (4:18)
3. Are you happy to pay (a bit) more to have solder pins covered on the (front) of BTF motherboards? (12:59)
4. What’s your screen size, resolution, and refresh rate (maybe, also, LED or OLED)? (16:36)
5. Would you like the ALB01 Aura Monitor Light Bar to have RGB colors paired with on screen colors? (26:31)
6. Keyboards, are you Team Clicky or Team Linear? (28:58)
7. Microphones, are you on a boom arm, or on a desk top? (32:40)
8. Have you done the two-handed graphics card line up dance? (39:52)
9. (Pauls Question) Would you be willing to buy a paired-for-life BTF Motherboard and Graphics Card (9:29)
1, Square
2, Hard
3, BTF is mostly about aesthetics, so a bit more for a better look is good by me
4, 45 inch, 3440x1440, 240Hz OLED
5, Yes
6, Linear
7, Boom
8, Yes
9, Not until it's more established. Although not necessarily "paired for life", until I could be confident that I wouldn't need to make performance or aesthetic compromises to remain in the BTF segment I won't be comfortable making BTF purchases.

For a Horizontal mount BTF card, ASUS (or Partners) will need a special BTF Extension brackets HINT!
Solder pins should either be able to cut or use shorter pins in the connectors OR have some (ASUS LOGO) plastic cover over the pins if not covered up with the Motherboard extended Aluminum front plates used as cooling for the M.2. SSD’s.
Love the TUF Fan Controller and TR120 FANs shown.
Monitor 27-Inch, 1440 Resolution, 144Hz.
Love the Monitor Arm. Does it come with ARGB?
The ALB1 new RGB Lightbar, I noticed in the video the individual LEDs too much, can that not be more evenly diffused? Does it get powered by USB from a Monitor or has it separate power block?
Indeed more functionality in the Display Widget Software for say AURA ARGB would be nice too.
Add a small Display above it for AIDA64 lol ?!
Keyboard: TEAM Linear, Softly 😊
BTW: ROG Carnyx Microphone (with RGB!) how about making The ROG EYE symbol on a round disk that is spring seated so it can be gently pulled and rotated if used on a Boom. Small detail but that popped up while watching…
It is fun for me to see so many things showing that I’ve asked or mentioned during the DIY streams over the year(s) come to life. The Echo JJ of negative response makes me laugh now. White Cases, AIO 420, BTF (BIG FAN)
Any who, beautiful goodies and more to come, I’m sure. Two thumbs up.
Have a great evening Time for some eye shut.
Greetings

1. Square or Circle AIO? (2:20)
Circle for life! Reducing the footprint of the cooler makes it easier to plug in connectors to the motherboard.
2. Soft-line tubing or Hard-line tubing for custom loop water cooling? (4:10)
I have yet to do a custom loop PC, but soft tubing seems more beginner friendly.
3. Are exposed solder points okay on the front of a motherboard? (13:00)
Since I'm a computer engineer, I think PCs look best with solder points visible. I'm fine with a heatsink covering solder for better performance, but hiding solder for an a e s t h e t i c feels silly.
4. Screen size, resolution, and refresh rate? (16:30)
Dual 27 inch 1440p 144 Hz monitors but once DisplayPort 2.1 is prevalent its time to upgrade.
5. Clicky or silent keys? (29:00)
I've been team clicky ever since finding out about mechanical keyboards, but tactile silent switches are the dream!
6. Boom arm or desktop microphone? (32:40)
Boom arm for life! Its convenient to easily move a mic out of the way when not in use and frees up valuable desk real estate.

I am a asus kind of guy so if I went with a btf system I would be fine with the changes. But I also know I’m not going to change from an asus mobo to another vendor. The cases are what I’m curious about.
Nothing a Dremel can't fix lol

Love the new monitors JJ

JJ Question Feedback:
1. Team Circle for the AIO block
2. BTF seems like a great concept and design. Definitely in the early stages, but I would like to see every company incorporate this option.
3. Ultrawide 32in, 1440p, 180hz.
4. BFI seemed interesting to look at.
5. Yes, update the software for the ASUS light bar to mirror the color on the screen. It would be a nice touch for people who want to use it.
6. Dual-Mode OLED sounds interesting, and I like it. It's like having two monitors in one. One for single-player games and the other for competitive gaming.
7. Team linear for keyboards.
8. I use a boom arm for my microphone.
9. Yes, lol. I have done the two-hand approach when inserting my GPU.

This was one of the most compelling ads ive seen, JJ really selling Asus in what feels like an authentic way. good on him.
Hey Paul, this was your best from the CES. Even though it was 40min this was so easy to listen to, and my god what a salesman
Time stamp JJ questions
- 2:23 - Are you team square or team circle?
I am team square for sure!
- 4:17 - Are you team soft or hard tubing?
Soft tubing for me.
- 9:37 - (that one from Paul but I'll add it) Would you bvuy an Asus BTF Motherboard and GPU?
Yes I think so, I am very much into estetics and I think this is one of the best inovation I have seen in a while.
- 16:38 - What's your screen size, resolution and refresh rate you are running?
34in Ultrawide, 3440-1440, 165 htz.
- 20:47 - Did you know that all our new monitors that we are showing have black frame insertion as part of our OLED implementation?
No, I had no idea
- 29:05 - For keyboards keys, are you guys team clicky or team linear?
Linear here, I like smooth and quiet keys
That was an AWESOME Presentation!!1 GREAT JOB JJ!!!! I've always looked at ASUS as a high quality brand, and with some of the new stuff I am even more impressed! I LOVE the BTF system!! (they aren't the only company doing it either, but they don't call it BTF :D) AND I like the idea of the mobo/GPU power delivery.. you don't have to worry about moving your sketchy 12VHP wire and melting something because you have the connector in the back compartment of your case where you can use cable ties to make sure it stays in place instead of doing that in the front where it would be ugly AF - but ASUS NEEDS TO LICENCE THE TECH CHEAPLY TO GET ALL MOBO, GPU, AND CASE MFGRS ON BOARD!!! It will NEVER TAKE OFF and get CANCELLED after 2 years if they don't allow competitors 'rent' the tech... DON'T BE STINGEY ASUS... SHARE THE TECH SO IT BECOMES POPULAR!!! :)
22:47 JJ still as honest as he's been since the beginning... It's like JJ is fighting for us, not Asus! :P
Lots of respect for you man, heard a bunch of other things you were willing to tell the truth about, and that is truly something amazing to see today. Thank you JJ, keep up the great work! ;)
#1 thing I'd like to see become industry standard is the implementation of BTF CPU connections. Always a pain to plug in those in so I'd like to see those become the norm
My very first builds and over-clocks was with one of JJ’s YT guides. Just a great OG in general.
BTF is a good concept but needs standardization. I would prefer to route everything at the back side of the case just for simplicity.
JJ !!! All the technical terms coming out seem so natural... "Sell ice to an Eskimo" vibes, your friendly sales' rep "friend"... Doesn't feel condescending like some sales' rep of"high-end" goods, if you know what I mean... Would have as a friend 11/10
JJ Its the most amazing human being, hardworker, lovely person and very nice person to talk to. praps to him, he went all and beyond in this video.. and yes, Asus data was LOT.. love it!
Thank you guys so much. Can’t wait ROG 4k240hz Qd-oled monitor af🤩
omg... this JJ guy, I love his explaination! cant believe i finished the 40+ mins....
JJ doing the calls to action is hilarious to me. He just wants to make sure Paul gets that engagement--the algorithm demands it!
BTF is awesome and I love it. In regards to the exposed solder points on the front of the board, just offer a more budget friendly BTF board with like a dab of poly-vinyl to hide them and prevent shorts. Kind of like how Asrock has their Taichi-lite motherboard. That way y'all wouldn't have to tool&die for plastic shrouding. mATX BTF case(s) with a repositional front I/O (top, bottom, or around the undercarrige like the Lian Li O11's) , and mATX motherboard options , please. . . Wow, JJ! . . exciting stuff from ASUS. ~~ air cooler but if I went liquid then soft tube for sure, 32" 1440p 165hz, I really like the ProArt line of products, And please consider a 32-ish" 4:3 ratio, ProArt monitor with at least 1440p 120hz freesync, and an integrated front facing USB hub, so I don't need multiple monitors for gaming and CC work. Yea I know, I'm asking a lot, just some things to consider . . . Thanks Guys.

First off, JJ did an awesome job handling the info spiel, managing the crowd as he moved, and keeping the audience involved; Asus, promote him!
- Team circle or square?
Shapes are shapes...
- BTF..
As long as both options are supported, let's go.
- Team hard tubing or soft tubing?
Soft... but that's not what she said.
- What resolution and refresh rate are people running?
1440, 120
- Lighbar
Meh, who needs em. Turn on the lights weirdo!
- Are you team clicky or team linear?
Clicks are king.
- Team boom arm or desktop stand for mics?
Boom baby!
- GPU
Yeah, simplify that... but don't go all Dell on us!
JJ is the best, I remember you guys doing videos back in the Newegg days.
I’ve just started gaming on 50” 4k TV instead of monitors. The refresh rate is low of course, but gaming from the couch is much better than from the chair. Many games I play can’t touch more than 60fps anyway.
I’m still looking into large format gaming display (what is it called again? BFD ??).
Will that BTF replacement slot for the 12VHPWR also burn out all the same due to poor connection or electrical resistance?
Those contact points are flat, and who knows if it can handle the current passing through it. That, and the mobo slot where it's going into.
600W is a lot for PCB traces to handle, even if its spread out.
On monitors, will ASUS also launch a 45" version of that 21:9 ultrawide OLED?
After all, Corsair and ACER already have them using that 45" LG OLED panel, along with LG themselves obviously.
I'm holding out for a 5K2K version hopefully in the future, as an upgrade to my 49" VA; but for now I'm watching and waiting.
Keyboard ASUS Azoth .. ADD Hall Effect magnetic switch option AND and Aluminum Case. It would sell easily for $275. For typing I prefer Tactical switches; lubed and optional springs in the Purple Pandas.
Paul you and JJ when you did your Newegg stint got me so addicted to building my own system I went for it followed all your ideas, amazing to to see JJ how he has been. the old i7 3770 is still at work to this day and of course the Asus MB, just updated from my gtx 790 Asus GPU to a gtx 1060 GPU, wish I could get the money back I spent back then, I would do it all over again. All the stuff out now is way beyond anything I would ever use, I do alot of 3D content creation but no gaming stuff. I am atm very interested in the new intell with NPU saving for the jump one day. carry on, great to see JJ amazingly smart man I always thought.
I have a question regarding 'BTF'. I'm a Mini-ITX computer guy who likes to have most computer stuffs as small as possible. So, as 'BTF' wouldn't fit on a Mini-ITX motherboard as they aren't wide enough, I'll guess there will be an adapter with a cable that can go from a connector on an ASUS motherboard over to the 'BTF' connector on the ASUS graphic card?
Also, I use the 'Phanteks EVOLV Shift XT' Mini-ITX case where a PCIe 4.0 riser cable is needed. So, I hope ASUS can have a partnership with Phanteks so they can make a new PCIe 4.0 riser cable with the 'BTF' stuffs on it.
I've been daily driving hardtubing for 6+ years and had to redo my loop after each upgrade, had to do maintenance and still I love it just as much. It looks way better than my soft tubing builds
"I prefer a chopstick." - Paul's Hardware, CES 2024 *Heavy Cyberpunk music plays*
Im personally rocking an LG C3 42 inch as my primary display. I was originally using ultrawide but i really like the big screen 4K experience!
is it good up close ? I bought the C2 on sale but it's mostly for Home theatre.
20:45 "Black Frame Insertion"... Many thanks to Paul and of course JJ.
JJ do some more enthusiast level OC guides for like 14th Gen Intel, bring back the adaptive OR variable OC
(in conjunction with ASUS's Ai OC guide accompanied) PLEASE!
Peace
Here's a question: Will there be riser cables for the new GPU power solution, of will it be recommended to go to the old school route if you want to display your card vertically?
Hi Paul. Thanks for the 40 minute AD for asus. I found it to be quite informative and useful. And JJ was a well of information. One of my favorite products that Asus makes is their routers and home networking solutions. I wish you would have covered more of that. Hopefully in the future you will. If you choose to continue in the foot steps of this video with other vendors I would definitely watch. Just give us a heads up about any giveaways at the beginning of the video.😂 Take care.
Does the 1440p 480hz panel include DP 2.1 UHBR20 and is the screen glossy or matte?
kinda sad that the sales point of the AIO is the lcd screen and not the cooling performance.
I love the BTF funtions, I would say there is another plus for this, no high power conneector to melt or catch fire. I would love to see a Matrix 4090 with BTF
Awesome video! JJ is always welcome!
Hi, thank for showing us. On the BTF, I did look at uesless Nvidea socket, I would rather stick to triple 8 pins molex, it be more safer. Plugging Nvidea it got to be at least 30mm space from the end of the plug to the cover to bend the cable and keep it longer life to it. Hide that 480Hz monitor before Linus find it, lol. I had the idea using blade on the graphic card (Oh, that was long time ago when Nvidea intro the plug), I look at and are you sure it take 100 Amps through that blade, it is rather short, should be double that length of the blade if you are fitting 4090 into the motherboard and overclock it. , check it out. Love you all.
Love seen JJ videos been watching his videos or any video his in for years dude knows his stuff
I think the GPU/motherboard power connector is... neat... but functional useless. Still have the power connector, but you'll never be able to sell the card when you decide to upgrade. Those cards are destined for 1 owner, then the landfill.
The reverse connector motherboards are actually interesting as case manufacturers have been chomping at the bit for some new innovation, and this is it.
_-:--;,.~+'º'`*-> Time Stamps
JJ we want to be able to add length to arms! overhead arms for bed!
love those rog bone conducting headphones. LOVE those new monitors. definitely buying the monitor arm (and probably light bar). would definitely buy the portable monitor if i had a use case (travel, etc). the dust filter led built into the case is legit genius....much needed. gonna be a heck of a year for asus!
JJ is a beast informative and quick with the right words. Proud of you JJ
Thanks for this, about time someone did a in-depth overview of products. There were 4 or 5 I would like to check out. that little router for one.
It was cool seeing JJ again. Thx!
Intro - Welcome to ASUS at CES 2024
0:43 New AIO Coolers - ROG Strix LC III w/ LCD Screen
3:53 Ryujin CPU Water Block w/ LCD Screen for custom loops
7:38 I love how ASUS put the Lat/Long coordinates of their corporate HQ on the 4090 GPU.
There are a lot of features in that proart case that I absolutely love.
16:45
Mine is - 2560x1440 and 165-refresh rate. VA gaming monitor by Pixio (x3) PX-329 monitors.
I have a hybrid hard tube in the front with quick disconnect to soft tubing in the back where it isn't visible.
33:28 if the sound coming out of the NOVA earbuds matches or excels that of the Crinacle Zero for gaming (tonality, imaging, soundstage, etc) i'd say $90-$100 would be a pretty good price, $130 is just too much IMO
JJ did an awesome job showcasing Asus's new products. Super interesting!
😊id say i like no sound keyboard. Alors sick new monitors !
can the btf front-facing solder contacts just be painted matte black to blend in?
can i control the monitor light bar 26:50 with a stream deck?
4:00 looks like a Mitsubishi CRT monitor
screen size 27 inches curved, 1440p, capable of refreshing at 165 but I hard set it to 120 because I was getting headaches at the higher refresh rate for some reason.
When Paul talking about the new standard come out with BTF I like to clean looks of no wiring in the front and I'm hoping for less issues with a power to the video cards with a power coming from the motherboard and but still we had to hook up the power to the motherboard that which goes to the video card which I kind of like in the back.
Will there be vertical gpu riser options for BTF gpus?
16:43 I'm running 1440p 27" 16:9 165Hz IPS (the Asus TUF VG27AQ)
but I would love a 2160p 27" 16:9 240Hz QD-OLED 🤩
Not enough torsional rigidity on the power connector if you ask me.
BTF MB yeah, actually, as long as the support from various case brands is here, lets go, is just moving a piece from front to back.
For the GC it's a big no, it adds a whole coupling assembly and if your MB died you stuck to immediately buy a new compatible one and cannot you cannot just pop your GC to and to a random MB even temporarly, neither give it down the line to your friends or little cousin once you want to upgrade and everything .... really seems like epic bad move from my pov.
The Pro Art chassis should have some sort of collapsible handle on the front.
Shall be picking up 2 of those monitor arms and one of the 27 inch oleds for my new rig.
I love the idea of all hidden connections, the clean look, and doing all of the connections in one space making it easier, but unless standards, both motherboard, case and card makers all agree on and adhere to, it's just going to be another compatibility nightmare putting the user in the crossfire of companies who just won't work together for trying to corner the market in their favor, and theirs only!
I'm looking for a new monitor myself. The duel resolution monitor seems great but wish it was 4K 240Hz & 1440p 480Hz instead of 1080p at that screen size. I currently have a Aorus FI27Q-X 1440p @240Hz that I will setup with my second pc.
That monitor arm has my interest. i recently got into ultrawides and use a generic arm that works fine but i do like the thought of a quality arm.
The ProArt case is a beast with some very interesting features. A bit out of my price range, but that's true of most ProArt gear. The monitor arm looks good too.
I want the solder points more visible. That would give it a riveted aircraft design.
Props to JJ. Probably the most knowledgeable rep ever.
I'm team hardline tubing all day. My EK distro meant I didn't have to do any bends. As for the BTF situation, it fragments the Asus hardware lineup, and it restricts you to only the components that Asus has BTF variants of, and then the stock situation will most likely exacerbate this. I'm stuck with a Z790 Hero, and what if I wanted a Z790 Extreme? Or a X670E Extreme like the mobo I have? I can't get a Lian Li case either. Don't get me wrong, the Hyperion case is nice, but it's a bit too gamer-y for me and it doesn't have much radiator support compared to, say, a O11D XL Evo. It would be awesome if BTF would be adopted as some ATX-type standard across all manufacturers, though... sub-$150 for those monitor arms is amazing! My Ergotrons were quite a bit more.
BTF available on M-ITX? presumably not because its already so cramped
I like the idea of the plugs on the back.......the limitations......a Template could be supplied to modify existing cases a good size case (metal)......and dremal.......vois la.
excellent
Looking forward to the new monitors
Linear for keyboards
boom arm for mic
JJ is da man;)
Great coverage, Paul and crew! The BTF concept is fantastic but without a standard or backup options built in I won't be touching it. Asus will need to work with other manufacturers before l use it and I say that even after getting an Asus mobo and graphics card for my new AM5 build. Edit: oh that ProArt case is fantastic. I do both work and gaming on my main pc at home and that looks like a great option for my next build.
Oh my God JJ!!!!!!!!!❤ I remember watching you with every tech reviewer in 2014 when buying a PC with the z87-pro mobo ❤😂😊
I've been subscribed to Paul's Hardware for... almost a decade...? And this is the first time I've seen his last name. I don't know why but it made me happy for some reason. Also, JJ really took over hosting duties on this video
Dude..casters on the PC case is truly a game changer.
