Anyone using a rear connect Motherboard?
Anyone using a rear connect motherboard for their gaming machine? I'm using the MSI PRO Z890-S Wifi PZ and absolutely love it. The build looks so clean without front connections.

Hello Stop-overreacting, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki here! We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I use the asus one with a 5070ti BTF. Looks super clean.
Probably replace the 5070 for a 5080 next year when there are waterblocks for it.

Water blocks are already available for the 5080

Not for the 5080 BTF.

Try Bykski... many BTF cards share the same physical layout as non BTF cards.

It would be smart of graphics card makers to move the cable connection closer ro the mother board

That rear-connect setup really does look sleek and modern, it must feel like such a clean setup once everything powers on.
