New BTF 3.0 concept that includes wireless sources and fans and liquid cooling with short tubes
The idea of building your PC with the minimum cables is catching on with the public, although the manufacturers they adapt little by little to these new forms of construction, adding options that allow a cleaner interior. With this idea was born BTF (Back to The Future) which is now adapted to version 3.0 with new features, after several meetings with important manufacturers such as ASUS, MSI or Colorful who are still interested in offering products under this BTF 3.0 version.
The new BTF 3.0 concept eliminates even more cables from inside your PC
Both ASUS, MSI and Colorful have supported this BTF format in their first and second versions, but the author DIY-APE now offers us an updated version 3.0 with new features. An open design that any brand can adopt, and that for the moment includes motherboards, graphics cards and compatible cases that make your PC more cable-free (at least the visible part).
BTF 3.0 adds other elements such as power supplies or BTF liquid cooling
This third version brings as a novelty a single connector for power for CPU, GPU and for the motherboard. This shared connector will be able to support up to 2,145Wwhere 1,680 W are reserved directly for the highest consumption components, the CPU and GPU. For powering the front ports, the UBS-C and the power button, it has been enabled a single connector Located on the back connected via a single cable to the box. They have also been located SATA connectors for power on the rear for up to 4 drives, eliminating the need for additional cables.

In this new concept power supply also eliminates cableswith a direct connector to the motherboard that offers the necessary power. Contrary to usual, this BTF 3.0 power supply is located to the right of the motherboardcoinciding with the power stages of the CPU. The graphics card will adopt a hybrid system like the latest ASUS, where they can work with a standard ATX system, but you can attach a direct connector to the board that eliminates the need for power cables.

The boxanother element that had to be updated to accommodate this new version, too will be able to accommodate standard ATX systems. In these the option has been added to add liquid cooling with BTF short run tubes with clean wiring options from the CPU block. It also has a wireless power supply system for fans and hubs for RGB. As concept a system has been added that Powers the fans right from where they are placed.
The fans will be able to get power right where you screw them
But this is not just words, to demonstrate that all this is possible, the designer himself has shown a prototype in collaboration with Colorful where this technology is applied. This includes a new Colorful box and a graphics card also from the brand as BTF 3.0 prototypes.

But this new version is still a project, in which your success depends of how many brands offer to introduce this concept in their products. On paper, the bet it’s interesting to obtain an interior care free of wiring, but in practice surely some concepts can be improved with the help of manufacturers and your experience in previous versions of this BTF concept.
