When we asked the PCI-SIG, we received the news that for the first time, PCIe will get a massive power increase at the connector. Solomon couldn't recall the exact ceiling because member companies have proposed several options. Solomon stated that the minimum would be 300W, but the ceiling “may be 400 or 500W."
Not too savvy on power delivery, but power still has to come from somewhere, no? You can't just simply respec a slot from 75W to 300W powered from the ATX mobo connection. Its likely that additional power connections would be required, something more like moving PCI 6/8 pin connectors onboard rather than on the graphics adapter.
Then a typical '16 build and beyond would have something like 325W running through the board. Seems like a recipe for fried components to me.
Less cables, better air circulation, easier access to parts... i like it
Less cables? I think you will just get the 6-8 pin cables attached next to the card on the mobo. Just as the CPU power cable. Where else did you imagine the power coming from?
An exemple of such a mobo, do you see power connections next to the PCIE slots..?.

Bad indeed for both buyers and sellers of cheap office pcs.300W per slot via mobo delivery. That sounds like a very bad idea indeed.
quality psus can be had for cheap anyway. I have no idea how cheap "chinese psus" are. but quality 400w psus regularly go on sale for 30$ or less. hell, if you are using quality over chinese ones, I bet you can go with 300w versions.Bad indeed for both buyers and sellers of cheap office pcs.
This time is only 75w, not that much for a fake 500w paper rated psu: it can handle 75w. That poor it guy(myself included) / technician installing a 250w TDP GPU inside a fake 500W cheap psu... cuz everybody says it works. Hell, no additional pci-e connectors necessary. It sounds too good and cheap until the psu blows up.
If 300W slot power becomes a standard is bad both for the ordinary IT dude and for the customer. This implies both higher quality psus and motherboards. Long gone are the days when you could grab a cheap ass chinese psu(400w total output power rated in fantasy land) and dump it inside a cheap office pc. This time around it should warrant what, 300w instead of 75w slot power? It's madness.
My point is that current owners of fake rated psus didn't had to face "can't handle 75w slot pci-e power". Now they do if 300w slot power becomes a standard.
You expect to supply hundreds of additional amps over a 24pin ATX connector?
You didn't get my point. I know about good quality cheap psus. You do also. Cheap chinesse crapp is cheap quality on small volumes but expensive in a lot of non-us markets.quality psus can be had for cheap anyway. I have no idea how cheap "chinese psus" are. but quality 400w psus regularly go on sale for 30$ or less. hell, if you are using quality over chinese ones, I bet you can go with 300w versions.
"old standard psus" means all psus sold as of today.the thing is, it will become the new standard. you will only have this worry with the old standard psus.
and what is wrong with stirring up the market? it is what new tech is suppose to do.
300w = 25 amps at 12v. Not hundreds. Even on a 5v line that's only 60A.
Per slot. And the actual quote from the PCISIG member is 300w-500w.
That equals hundreds
They are not going to use it, PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 where able to deliver more than 75W, but since pci-e devices must be backwards compatible, gpus must be 75W max, and OEMs are not enforced to provide more than 75W to the slots. There is just no way to get such power out of the ATX plug.300W slot makes me worried about backwards compatibility (with older slots) for newer cards.
