Date: September 29, 2025

MSI has introduced a custom design for their new RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, featuring a hidden 16-pin connector located underneath the backplate. This innovative design aims to prevent cable bending near the connector, which can lead to loose connections and potentially melted power connectors.

The manufacturer's specifications highlight that any bend in the cable within 35mm of the connector can cause significant issues. By hiding the connector under a removable backplate, MSI ensures that users avoid these problematic bends, enhancing both performance and longevity of the GPU.
