GALAX 20th Anniversary GeForce RTX 4090 GPU Pictured
When GALAX began its operations in China in 2003, the company broke into the market and established itself as one of the best GPU AIBs out there. Now, the company is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special-edition graphics card to mark its two-decade run. We have previously reported that the company is planning to show more of the special-edition card; however, all we managed to get was a teaser of the GPU. Today, thanks to the X/Twitter user CornerJack we manage to see the new GPU in person and its uniquely positioned 12VHPWR power connector.
In the images below, we see that GALAX decided to work around the problem of bad cable management by introducing a more stealthy approach. The 16-pin 12VHPWR connector is now hidden inside of a GPU in an interesting place. The connector is placed in line with the GPU, next to the PCIe connector, to prevent cable bending, which is proven infamously dangerous. In regards to the special-edition features, we expect the card to be a great performer and certainly a star of the show of any PC build due to its white aesthetics.

They missed the window hard on these launches.
The power connector is at the bottom close to the mainboard. That means you need to plug in the power connector BEFORE slotting the card in.
Since you move the card around with the connector attached, you need to check it after slotting it in, if it sits correctly. So how the "F" are you gonna do that, if it is so close to the mainboard?
