Every year at COMPUTEX, component manufacturers pitch their own visions for the future of DIY PC building. For the past couple of years, the industry has been hyper-focused on the back-connect motherboard movement (like ASUS BTF or MSI Project Zero) to hide ugly power lines. But at COMPUTEX 2026, COLORFUL decided to take the concept to its absolute logical conclusion with the debut of the iGame Ultra Zero PC.
Instead of merely hiding standard cables behind the motherboard tray, COLORFUL has engineered an in-house hardware ecosystem under its popular Ultra-Z lineup that aims for a true zero-cable layout.
Direct Motherboard Power Distribution: How it Works
Conventional back-connect systems still require you to route standard, thick power supply cables to hidden headers on the back of the motherboard. COLORFUL’s Ultra-Z approach changes the electrical architecture entirely.
Power from the specialized power supply is fed directly into a primary distribution zone on the motherboard. From there, the motherboard itself acts as the main power plane, routing and distributing electricity directly to individual components—including the power-hungry graphics card—via proprietary, integrated slot connectors.
This marks a massive milestone in the consumer PC space. It completely eliminates visible internal cables, reduces cable-routing friction during assembly, and dramatically cleans up the internal airflow path.
The Catch: Complete Ecosystem Bundles Only
If you were hoping to buy just the motherboard or the graphics card to drop into your existing rig, you are out of luck. COLORFUL confirmed on the show floor that the iGame Ultra Zero PC will only be sold as a complete, pre-configured set rather than individual standalone parts.
Given the highly proprietary nature of the power delivery channels, proprietary slots, and chassis alignment tolerances required to make a zero-cable system function safely, selling these components piecemeal would create a logistical and technical nightmare for standard DIY builders. Furthermore, initial availability for this ecosystem will be strictly limited to China, serving as a testbed before the brand considers a wider global rollout.
Under the Hood: Full Specifications
The Ultra Zero PC isn’t just a concept shell; it is packed with high-end, current-generation desktop hardware:
| Component | Specification |
| CPU | Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF |
| GPU | iGame GeForce RTX 5070 Ultra Z OC 12GB |
| Motherboard | iGame Z890M Ultra Z V20 |
| Memory | iGame Ultra II DDR5 16GB x 2 (6000MHz, CL28) |
| Storage | Colorful CN700 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD |
| Case | iGame C26MA Ultra Z BTF 3.0 |
| Power Supply | iGame P850W Ultra Z BTF 3.0 |
The core of the system pairs Intel’s Arrow Lake architecture with NVIDIA’s mainstream Blackwell architecture, ensuring that the rig delivers serious performance to match its minimalist aesthetic. The choice of ultra-low latency CL28 memoryalso highlights that COLORFUL isn’t cutting corners on the secondary performance metrics.
The Takeaway
COLORFUL’s iGame Ultra Zero PC represents one of the most daring hardware experiments at COMPUTEX 2026. While the proprietary nature of the kit and limited regional availability mean it won’t disrupt the global DIY market overnight, it provides a fascinating blueprint for what premium, seamless desktop design could look like as component power distribution continues to evolve.
