At COMPUTEX 2025, we visited the ASUS Republic of Gamers booth to see their latest innovations in PC hardware. ASUS showcased several key innovations, including the expanded BTF ecosystem, the new ROG RYUO IV 360 ARGB White Edition, and the powerful ROG XG Station 3.

We got a closer look at the BTF motherboards and graphics cards, ASUS’s GC-HPWR power connector, and their sleek cable-free design. Also on display were the latest cooling solutions and modular accessories that continue to push the boundaries of custom PC building.

Revolutionizing Cable Management: The ROG BTF Ecosystem

At the heart of ASUS ROG’s COMPUTEX 2025 showcase is the fully realised BTF (Back-To-the-Future) ecosystem — a bold rethinking of PC assembly that prioritises clean aesthetics and user-friendly design. Central to this lineup are the BTF graphics cards and motherboards, engineered to work together seamlessly through ASUS’s proprietary GC-HPWR high-power adapter. This innovative connector relocates the GPU’s power delivery pathway directly to the motherboard, eliminating the need for visible power cables and simplifying the overall build process.

The latest ROG BTF motherboards feature rear-mounted connectors and reinforced slots designed specifically for the high-power BTF graphics cards. Together, they create a clutter-free interior while maintaining exceptional power efficiency and thermal reliability. For builders who demand peak performance without the mess of traditional cabling, the ROG BTF ecosystem offers a cleaner, more intuitive experience that reflects the next era of enthusiast PC design.
