MSI designed a graphics card that relocates the 16-pin power connector approximately three inches beneath the backplate to prevent cable damage. Japanese YouTuber @harucan5492 demonstrated the white RTX 5070 Ti model that features a removable backplate section for cable access. Sharp cable bends within 35 millimeters of the connector have caused multiple power connector failures through loose connections that generate heat.
The unconventional placement provides adequate clearance that meets manufacturer specifications for safe cable routing. The card resembles the Ventus series design, but the company has not released pricing or availability details. Users can attach the power cable through the removable section, then replace the cover for a cleaner appearance.
