Hey all, thanks for watching my CES coverage! I sort of spoiled JJ's offer by making timestamps for this video myself, but I didn't want to post a 40+ min video without them. But I think he'll still honor it for anyone who wants to answer all the audience feedback questions he asked! 🙏

JJ is really a great presenter! Although this was a 40min ad it was really enjoyable to watch

Man ASUS got their plane tickets worth of advertising on this. It was a variable speed run of how many products JJ could jam in our faces for 40+ mins straight lol. JJ if your watching make that power connector for your video cards an open standard so other vendors can use it. I think even regular motherboards could benefit not just BTF boards. It really should be the new industry standard. Makes it easier for newer PC builders. Simplifies build process. Limits paths of failure. Assists in rigidity of videos cards. Possibly aiding in longevity, and RMA's. Make it happen JJ. Don't Make it a walled garden feature. That's Doomed to die.

JJ is an OG of the channel. I learned so much from him back in the day.

Yes, JJ and Paul is such an OG duo that we all love back in the Newegg days!

I love the GPU power connection being connected via an additional slot like this. I like the idea of moving all these connectors to the back. It's stupid not to do it with the GPU. The GPU is the most intrusive, and airflow blocking cable in any case (especially now that they're mounting the dang things on the middle of the cards). Otherwise the rest of them are 99.99% aesthetic, as the other cables are barely exposed on the airflow side of cases anyway (though that's still the only real benefit overall). That being said, I entirely side with Paul. We need standardization for this. All these companies, Asus included are doing it their own proprietary way. Likely with a bit of greed involved, as they hope to lock you into buying ALL their parts (a concerning growing trend in general with PC parts lately). If this is going to take off we need PC parts and case manufacturerers to get together and decide on a standard. Otherwise, from a consumer standpoint it sucks. Without standardization not only do you limit your choices and options when buying/building a PC, but later down the road when you want to upgrade or replace a part as well. Take GN's review of Dell/Alienware prebuilts for example. Because they all use goofy non standard motherboards, and power supplies, etc you can't replace/upgrade anything in those systems. It sucks for consumers, and it leads to more e-waste. All you companies need to suck it up and come together, or some third party needs to do it for you. If nothing else, having standardization minimizes a companies risk if an issue arrises with the connector. Look at the already massive amount of issues with the 12hvr connector. Nvidia is getting blamed, and they didn't even design it. Imagine the blowback for Asus if there is an issue like that with one of these connectors they entirely designed.

I kinda love that BTF design and wish ASUS all the best in getting more partners building cases with that in mind. As someone who just built a new PC in a heavy, beast of a case (the 7000d) it sure would have been nice to just work from the backside for wiring up everything.

That has to be one of the best presentations I've seen in a very long time, JJ is truly an expert!

Love the BTF. Such a clean look without any visible cables.

#1 thing I'd like to see become industry standard is the implementation of BTF CPU connections. Always a pain to plug in those in so I'd like to see those become the norm

I would buy everything from this guy. What a great tour! Let's hope the tests are good, too.

Cheers JJ, Appreciate the info.

Excellent work between JJ and Paul, very informative.

Where did all the seven segment displays go?

First off, JJ did an awesome job handling the info spiel, managing the crowd as he moved, and keeping the audience involved; Asus, promote him! - Team circle or square? Shapes are shapes... - BTF.. As long as both options are supported, let's go. - Team hard tubing or soft tubing? Soft... but that's not what she said. - What resolution and refresh rate are people running? 1440, 120 - Lighbar Meh, who needs em. Turn on the lights weirdo! - Are you team clicky or team linear? Clicks are king. - Team boom arm or desktop stand for mics? Boom baby! - GPU Yeah, simplify that... but don't go all Dell on us!

I've missed JJ being in videos. He's so informative with products and truly does care about what he puts out just like you Paul. Best CES video so far. Also, time stamps! 0:00 Intro -ASUS at CES 2024 0:43 New AIO Coolers - ROG Strix LC III with LCD Screen 3:53 Ryujin CPU Water Block with LCD Screen for custom loops 5:21 ASUS BTF (Back to Front) Ecosystem - settling our beef 10:47 TUF Series BTF (Back to Front) Motherboard and GPU will launch first 14:37 TUF Fan + RBH Hub and New TR120 Fans 16:22 MONITORS - PG39WCDM 240Hz OLED Ultra-wide 18:45 ROG Monitor ARM 19:50 480Hz OLED - ROG Swift PG27AQDP 23:44 Dual-Mode 4k 240Hz / 1080 480Hz ROG Swift PG32UCDP 25:36 ALB01 Aura Monitor Light Bar 27:09 ROG FAlchion Low Profile Wireless Keyboard 29:30 Keris II Wireless Ace Super Lightweight Gaming Mouse 31:02 ROG Carnyx Microphone (with RGB!) 33:28 ROG Cetra True Wireless Speednova Earbuds 35:48 ZenScreenFoldable OLED Portable Monitor 36:53 ASUS; First ProArt PA602 Chassis 41:17 ASUS WIFI 7 Transfer Speed Demo 42:51 AX57 Go Travel Router

"I prefer a chopstick." - Paul's Hardware, CES 2024 *Heavy Cyberpunk music plays*

Time stamp JJ questions - 2:23 - Are you team square or team circle? I am team square for sure! - 4:17 - Are you team soft or hard tubing? Soft tubing for me. - 9:37 - (that one from Paul but I'll add it) Would you bvuy an Asus BTF Motherboard and GPU? Yes I think so, I am very much into estetics and I think this is one of the best inovation I have seen in a while. - 16:38 - What's your screen size, resolution and refresh rate you are running? 34in Ultrawide, 3440-1440, 165 htz. - 20:47 - Did you know that all our new monitors that we are showing have black frame insertion as part of our OLED implementation? No, I had no idea - 29:05 - For keyboards keys, are you guys team clicky or team linear? Linear here, I like smooth and quiet keys

JJ Question Feedback: 1. Team Circle for the AIO block 2. BTF seems like a great concept and design. Definitely in the early stages, but I would like to see every company incorporate this option. 3. Ultrawide 32in, 1440p, 180hz. 4. BFI seemed interesting to look at. 5. Yes, update the software for the ASUS light bar to mirror the color on the screen. It would be a nice touch for people who want to use it. 6. Dual-Mode OLED sounds interesting, and I like it. It's like having two monitors in one. One for single-player games and the other for competitive gaming. 7. Team linear for keyboards. 8. I use a boom arm for my microphone. 9. Yes, lol. I have done the two-hand approach when inserting my GPU.

1. Square or Circle AIO? (2:20) Circle for life! Reducing the footprint of the cooler makes it easier to plug in connectors to the motherboard. 2. Soft-line tubing or Hard-line tubing for custom loop water cooling? (4:10) I have yet to do a custom loop PC, but soft tubing seems more beginner friendly. 3. Are exposed solder points okay on the front of a motherboard? (13:00) Since I'm a computer engineer, I think PCs look best with solder points visible. I'm fine with a heatsink covering solder for better performance, but hiding solder for an a e s t h e t i c feels silly. 4. Screen size, resolution, and refresh rate? (16:30) Dual 27 inch 1440p 144 Hz monitors but once DisplayPort 2.1 is prevalent its time to upgrade. 5. Clicky or silent keys? (29:00) I've been team clicky ever since finding out about mechanical keyboards, but tactile silent switches are the dream! 6. Boom arm or desktop microphone? (32:40) Boom arm for life! Its convenient to easily move a mic out of the way when not in use and frees up valuable desk real estate.

JJ !!! All the technical terms coming out seem so natural... "Sell ice to an Eskimo" vibes, your friendly sales' rep "friend"... Doesn't feel condescending like some sales' rep of"high-end" goods, if you know what I mean... Would have as a friend 11/10

I am a asus kind of guy so if I went with a btf system I would be fine with the changes. But I also know I’m not going to change from an asus mobo to another vendor. The cases are what I’m curious about.

22:47 JJ still as honest as he's been since the beginning... It's like JJ is fighting for us, not Asus! :P Lots of respect for you man, heard a bunch of other things you were willing to tell the truth about, and that is truly something amazing to see today. Thank you JJ, keep up the great work! ;)

JJ is the best, I remember you guys doing videos back in the Newegg days.

Thank you guys so much. Can’t wait ROG 4k240hz Qd-oled monitor af🤩

Paul you and JJ when you did your Newegg stint got me so addicted to building my own system I went for it followed all your ideas, amazing to to see JJ how he has been. the old i7 3770 is still at work to this day and of course the Asus MB, just updated from my gtx 790 Asus GPU to a gtx 1060 GPU, wish I could get the money back I spent back then, I would do it all over again. All the stuff out now is way beyond anything I would ever use, I do alot of 3D content creation but no gaming stuff. I am atm very interested in the new intell with NPU saving for the jump one day. carry on, great to see JJ amazingly smart man I always thought.

Props to JJ. Probably the most knowledgeable rep ever.

Hey Paul, this was your best from the CES. Even though it was 40min this was so easy to listen to, and my god what a salesman

Hi Paul. Thanks for the 40 minute AD for asus. I found it to be quite informative and useful. And JJ was a well of information. One of my favorite products that Asus makes is their routers and home networking solutions. I wish you would have covered more of that. Hopefully in the future you will. If you choose to continue in the foot steps of this video with other vendors I would definitely watch. Just give us a heads up about any giveaways at the beginning of the video.😂 Take care.

Thanks for this, about time someone did a in-depth overview of products. There were 4 or 5 I would like to check out. that little router for one.

@8:00 “torsional rigidity” yea ok 😂

There are a lot of features in that proart case that I absolutely love.

I want the solder points more visible. That would give it a riveted aircraft design.

That was an AWESOME Presentation!!1 GREAT JOB JJ!!!! I've always looked at ASUS as a high quality brand, and with some of the new stuff I am even more impressed! I LOVE the BTF system!! (they aren't the only company doing it either, but they don't call it BTF :D) AND I like the idea of the mobo/GPU power delivery.. you don't have to worry about moving your sketchy 12VHP wire and melting something because you have the connector in the back compartment of your case where you can use cable ties to make sure it stays in place instead of doing that in the front where it would be ugly AF - but ASUS NEEDS TO LICENCE THE TECH CHEAPLY TO GET ALL MOBO, GPU, AND CASE MFGRS ON BOARD!!! It will NEVER TAKE OFF and get CANCELLED after 2 years if they don't allow competitors 'rent' the tech... DON'T BE STINGEY ASUS... SHARE THE TECH SO IT BECOMES POPULAR!!! :)

JJ's got the insight! Would interesting to see an ITX mobo version!

Im personally rocking an LG C3 42 inch as my primary display. I was originally using ultrawide but i really like the big screen 4K experience!

My very first builds and over-clocks was with one of JJ’s YT guides. Just a great OG in general.

love those rog bone conducting headphones. LOVE those new monitors. definitely buying the monitor arm (and probably light bar). would definitely buy the portable monitor if i had a use case (travel, etc). the dust filter led built into the case is legit genius....much needed. gonna be a heck of a year for asus!

omg... this JJ guy, I love his explaination! cant believe i finished the 40+ mins....

I think the GPU/motherboard power connector is... neat... but functional useless. Still have the power connector, but you'll never be able to sell the card when you decide to upgrade. Those cards are destined for 1 owner, then the landfill. The reverse connector motherboards are actually interesting as case manufacturers have been chomping at the bit for some new innovation, and this is it.

This was one of the most compelling ads ive seen, JJ really selling Asus in what feels like an authentic way. good on him.

BTF is awesome and I love it. In regards to the exposed solder points on the front of the board, just offer a more budget friendly BTF board with like a dab of poly-vinyl to hide them and prevent shorts. Kind of like how Asrock has their Taichi-lite motherboard. That way y'all wouldn't have to tool&die for plastic shrouding. mATX BTF case(s) with a repositional front I/O (top, bottom, or around the undercarrige like the Lian Li O11's) , and mATX motherboard options , please. . . Wow, JJ! . . exciting stuff from ASUS. ~~ air cooler but if I went liquid then soft tube for sure, 32" 1440p 165hz, I really like the ProArt line of products, And please consider a 32-ish" 4:3 ratio, ProArt monitor with at least 1440p 120hz freesync, and an integrated front facing USB hub, so I don't need multiple monitors for gaming and CC work. Yea I know, I'm asking a lot, just some things to consider . . . Thanks Guys.

JJ doing the calls to action is hilarious to me. He just wants to make sure Paul gets that engagement--the algorithm demands it!

I've been daily driving hardtubing for 6+ years and had to redo my loop after each upgrade, had to do maintenance and still I love it just as much. It looks way better than my soft tubing builds

I love the BTF funtions, I would say there is another plus for this, no high power conneector to melt or catch fire. I would love to see a Matrix 4090 with BTF

JJ is always so much cooler than the actual customer service people at Asus..

Thanks Paul & JJ!

One thing I'd like to point JJ to, is that a majority of monitor makers only include 2 HDMI ports, which I feel like is not enough. For the PC DisplayPort is obviously the default which should stay, but there are _three_ console manufacturers. We don't yet know whether Nintendo's next platform is going to support HDMI 2.1, but it's not unlikely that they will. And if they do, having 3 HDMI 2.1 ports would be a requirement for all displays, especially in the high end. And now the RetroTINK 4K exists, which supports HDMI 2.0 and HDR. So 3x HDMI 2.1 should be the default and 1 extra HDMI 2.0 would make it perfect! =D

I think BTF is a good idea, but I would rather see MB, PSU, GPU, and case manufacturers all agree on a standard edge connector on the right side of the motherboard so it could be installed on a tray and slid in from the back. The PSU would have a similar connector. The case would be responsible for routing cables from the PSU connector to the motherboard connector, and all PCI-E slots would be like the one in the video.

Asus may assert that the primary purpose of the 4090 card's BTF version is wireless functionality. I believe the issue primarily stems from the 4090s melting power connector. This allows the mother board to power the card up to 600 watts. I wish manufacturers would have thought of this sooner. The only issue is that it can be an expensive upgrade since it will require a new Asus motherboard and case that have a back panel open for the new BTF connectors.

Keyboard ASUS Azoth .. ADD Hall Effect magnetic switch option AND and Aluminum Case. It would sell easily for $275. For typing I prefer Tactical switches; lubed and optional springs in the Purple Pandas.

JJ makes watching a 40min advert enjoyable tbh.

Hi, thank for showing us. On the BTF, I did look at uesless Nvidea socket, I would rather stick to triple 8 pins molex, it be more safer. Plugging Nvidea it got to be at least 30mm space from the end of the plug to the cover to bend the cable and keep it longer life to it. Hide that 480Hz monitor before Linus find it, lol. I had the idea using blade on the graphic card (Oh, that was long time ago when Nvidea intro the plug), I look at and are you sure it take 100 Amps through that blade, it is rather short, should be double that length of the blade if you are fitting 4090 into the motherboard and overclock it. , check it out. Love you all.

7:38 I love how ASUS put the Lat/Long coordinates of their corporate HQ on the 4090 GPU.

4:00 looks like a Mitsubishi CRT monitor

Clever design with the connections on the back of the motherboard...no cables in sight.

Awesome video! JJ is always welcome!

Came to the comments to praise JJ and say wow, what a great promo guy, knows his stuff too. But I see ya'll already feel the same:)

JJ is definitely good at his job. Gotta appreciate that.

The only reason BTF appeals to me is 12vhpwr being a disaster and wanting to avoid that connector.

I like the idea of cables attaching at the back, but there needs to be ONE standard for this, otherwise it's just another version of vendor lock-in which I will specifically avoid.

It was cool seeing JJ again. Thx!

14:29 Chopstick FTW.

That ProArt setup is perfect, I love it. Looking forward to picking up a ProArt 4070ti Super for my Unreal Engine/Autodesk Maya machine!

They should offer boards with only GPU BTF. I don’t care about the other cables but the recent power connector fiasco makes me really appreciate that idea.

Dude..casters on the PC case is truly a game changer.

BTF MB yeah, actually, as long as the support from various case brands is here, lets go, is just moving a piece from front to back. For the GC it's a big no, it adds a whole coupling assembly and if your MB died you stuck to immediately buy a new compatible one and cannot you cannot just pop your GC to and to a random MB even temporarly, neither give it down the line to your friends or little cousin once you want to upgrade and everything .... really seems like epic bad move from my pov.

Great coverage, Paul and crew! The BTF concept is fantastic but without a standard or backup options built in I won't be touching it. Asus will need to work with other manufacturers before l use it and I say that even after getting an Asus mobo and graphics card for my new AM5 build. Edit: oh that ProArt case is fantastic. I do both work and gaming on my main pc at home and that looks like a great option for my next build.

JJ did an awesome job showcasing Asus's new products. Super interesting!

Imagine explaining in detail how good your fans are and why there so good. While running Lian Li's on your custom rig. What team are you on? Tweedle Dee or Tweedle dumb?

Timestamps! Love the new monitors JJ 5:21 ASUS BTF (Back to Front) Ecosystem - settling our beef 10:47 TUF Series BTF Motherboard and GPU will launch first

JJ Its the most amazing human being, hardworker, lovely person and very nice person to talk to. praps to him, he went all and beyond in this video.. and yes, Asus data was LOT.. love it!

The ProArt case is a beast with some very interesting features. A bit out of my price range, but that's true of most ProArt gear. The monitor arm looks good too.

JJ is a beast informative and quick with the right words. Proud of you JJ

BTF is going to be a game changer for Custom PC building. Even if cases aren't BTF compatible, just cut and modify your chassis to gain access to the pins and ports! 13:31I am excited to see what the Modding Community is going to create!

JJ we want to be able to add length to arms! overhead arms for bed!

Never thought about it, but team square for screen. I like symmetry, so hard tubing for aesthetic, but I went soft tubing on my rig because it was my first time watercooling and hard tubing looks hard to build andmaintain

Oh my God JJ!!!!!!!!!❤ I remember watching you with every tech reviewer in 2014 when buying a PC with the z87-pro mobo ❤😂😊

20:45 "Black Frame Insertion"... Many thanks to Paul and of course JJ. JJ do some more enthusiast level OC guides for like 14th Gen Intel, bring back the adaptive OR variable OC (in conjunction with ASUS's Ai OC guide accompanied) PLEASE! Peace

I love the idea of all hidden connections, the clean look, and doing all of the connections in one space making it easier, but unless standards, both motherboard, case and card makers all agree on and adhere to, it's just going to be another compatibility nightmare putting the user in the crossfire of companies who just won't work together for trying to corner the market in their favor, and theirs only!

I love the BTF format personally. I would have grabbed that 4090 and mobo for my Hyperion if they were available when I built it.

I love JJ and Asus!

Good to see more gaming OLED monitors coming. I have the Alienware AW3423DW as my primary. 34" 3440x1440p, 175hz refresh, gsync QD-OLED. Most important things that OLEDs have been lacking for PC gaming (other than perhaps affordability): 1. They're all too big. 34" is about as big as you can ergonomically go for a desktop monitor. Being ultrawide 21:9 it is more usable at 34" than 16:9 though. Most of these panels out there are glorified TVs rebranded as PC monitors. You don't want a 42-55" "monitor" on your desk. 2. Gsync/Free sync support. 100% critical to have this. Ideally both. Especially combined with the next point. 3. Refresh rates. Many of those TV ones are still 60hz. Need 120hz +. That being said, there is such a thing as too high. I personally think 140-175hz is a sweet spot. Ideally you want your FPS to be close to or at your refresh rate (especially without gsync/free sync). Gsync/free sync will struggle to maintain smoothness if your FPS gets too far below your refresh rate. A 480hz refresh rate is basically a downside for most gamers, as you'll never get near that FPS in just about any game/setup. Which leads me to the next point. 4. Resolution. Many of the glorified TV ones are 4k or 8k. Almost all of the OLEDs are actually. A 4k or 8k monitor, with 480hz refresh? Recipe for disaster (especially if it lacks sync tech). You're going to struggle with any setup getting great FPS on 4k or 8k. 3440x1440p aka ultrawide 1440p is already twice as demanding as 1440p. This is coming from a guy running a 7800X3D/4090 based system. So yeah anything higher than 1440p ultrawide is bad. 5. Ultrawide can be a PITA. Getting older games to support it can be a pain, but it's not just older games. Many brand new titles will pillarbox you for no reason on ultrawide. Sometimes for just cutscenes, sometimes UI as well, sometimes the whole game. Always have to try and hack it to work with just about any game. I do like that this ASUS has higher peak brightness. That is probably the only noticable downside on my Alienware OLED. I do hope they have good warranty, as well as built in burn in protection methods. Both very important for OLEDs. So yeah hopefully we see more smaller, lower res, sweet spot refresh rate, gsync/free sync OLED monitors. I will also say my secondary monitor is an Asus monitor, and it has served me well for a VERY long time. Asus does make good monitors. At the end of the day OLED is the ultimate for gaming. Been waiting so long for it to finally get properly integrated into the PC monitor market. From infinity contrast ratio and true blacks, to instant response time, they are near perfect. Their only downsides being longevity, price (which has been and will keep improving), and proper spec targeting for what a desktop monitor needs (as mentioned). Also some more semi-minor ones like peak brightness which ASUS has improved drastically here. Once you go OLED you never look back.

The BTF GPU power connector thing should be a standard. Part of the problem with the 12VHPWR connector/cable is that a GPU is in a really terrible spot for routing that cable, causing it to flex and bend and become dislodged. Apple figured this out with their final Intel Mac Pro; power should be routed through the motherboard.

excellent Looking forward to the new monitors Linear for keyboards boom arm for mic JJ is da man;)

That was comprehensive!

after computex i said this is like leveling a forest to build a parking lot and my thoughts havent changed

Feedback for JJ/ASUS: 1) Offer a lightbar for the 800R curved monitors! 2) I'd be more interested in BTF if there were bundles (with slight discounts) so I know I could get compatible case, mobo, and GPU at the same time.

BTF is a good concept but needs standardization. I would prefer to route everything at the back side of the case just for simplicity.
