A new cable-less PC build standard, BTF 3.0, features a single 50-pin connector supporting up to 2,145 watts to power CPU and GPU. DIY-APE's innovative design aims to eliminate separate cables for components, enhancing accessibility and aesthetics. The standard includes a "gold-finger solution" for power delivery, consolidating connectors for GPU, CPU, EPS, and more. BTF 3.0 promotes clean, effortless PC building with additional features like short-tube water cooling and simplified front panel headers. While still a concept, DIY-APE showcased a prototype build demonstrating the potential of BTF 3.0 in collaboration with Colorful and Sego.
