CPUs do. Drives do.Honestly, no other component in computers today (for mainstream users) requires extra power connectors.

Another cool idea would be if motherboards had 6/8-pin outputs to plug into older video cards.Hmm, this would be cool if mobos sported dual 24pin connectors instead of a myriad on-board PCI-E power connectors.
modular psus cost a hell of alot more than standard psus. it is super premium. that totally destroys the cheap chinese psus argument people were having in this thread."old standard psus" means all psus sold as of today.
Once again I ask you,
Could you name at least one gain besides your argument that I don't believe it stands since you already got the "modular psu" product adopted by all the major psu manufacturers.
Power gets switched to the motherboard. This not cost free.
EDIT:
Just to make myself clear.
I do not stand against tech progress!
Both power and cost gets switched to the motherboard. I do not know who could gain something out of this. Maybe motherboard manufacturers or psu manufacturers, or both due to transferring cost to their side, but not oems or customers.
This is not an engineering master piece! It has nothing to do do with tech progress.
It sounds more like a political decision.

And this somehow makes you not wrong...? Please explain.

It just cant be done /period 300W will melt the ATX plug, 2.0 and 3.0 also supported more than 75W it was never used because it cant be applied. /period
well color me surprised. I honestly thought modular = 80+ for any reasonable wattage(600+).When even RaidMax can make a 735W modular 80Plus Bronze PSU, on sale for $40-50, that's not that "premium".
Btw, did whomever came out with this spec, work on the SATA-Express spec? Inquiring minds want to know...
The CPU I suppose, but to that's rather new (last 10 years maybe?) It would be ideal if the MB and directly connected devices (excluding drives, etc. that don't connect directly to slot/docket) had a single power source. 24-pin mb cable + 4/8-pin CPU + extra MB molex + GPU power is rediculous.CPUs do. Drives do.

I dont see a reason why a few more 12v pins couldnt be added to a new atx power connector version.. or get rid of all the other voltages, let the motherboard do the work. All these extra power cables are getting ridiculous
Great. I'm not updating my platform until PCI-e 4.0 becomes available, which likely won't be until Cannonlake in 2017 and Kaby Lake-E in 2018. But that's not to say that I think it's going to have a huge performance impact or anything. Current GPUs aren't limited by PCI-E 3.0 in single card mode, and I doubt Volta and whatever AMD has cooking up will be limited by PCI-E 4.0 either..
Yeah, you're right. Here in Hungary a reasonable PSU starts at 10-20 thousand Hungarian Forints which is approx. 32-64 Euros. The same goes with Graphics Cards, Mobos etc.While most IT tech products come from the US, non-us US markets don't reflect the same US prices.
Munch away.
There's no way you can deliver these power requirements on the current ATX connector (we have 4/8 pin CPU power connectors already as well). IIRC only 2 out of the 24 wires deliver 12V.
Is it so hard to simply admit that you're wrong? Even fringe, super-enthusiast scenarios will never see hundreds of amps running through the mobo.
the vice president of PCI SIG told the site that a PCIe 4.0 slot could provide anywhere from 300W to 400W or 500W

Custom servers tend to be 12V only. It would be nice to get a cleanup on the PC in that regard.
Wrong beyond belief.
Current travels on surface of conductors.That is why you have traces on boards,to increase area,so that higher current can go through.One can make flat wire(trace) 100 microns thick that can carry 1 kA and tens of kW of power if it wide enough.
So please stop talking rubish.
