Asus hidden cable alliance

I'm looking to build a new system - or at least swap out a few parts in my current - Has anyone seen a consumer board (am5) with this power connector?

Not that I plan to drop my 7900xtx - I am rather happy with it, more in terms of future proofing.
 
Which one of you is going to stick their tongue on the slot first, just pretend it's a 9V battery, same result I'm sure. :p
 
As long as the power socket is robust enough to handle several insertions then I like the idea, just makes powering the cards simple.
 
Seems easier to just move the 8 pin connectors down to the bottom of the GPU. Almost all of them are longer than a motherboard is wide, so it hangs over and it has a gap because of motherboard height and stand offs just hide the connector there and be done with it.
Just about every case would work with a small mod to drill a hole there in line with the edge of the motherboard to route the cable through.
