Colorful has extended its iGame Ultra Z series with the introduction of the GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti models, following the earlier release of the RTX 4070 iGame Ultra Z variant. The hallmark feature of this series is the concealed power connector, which is neatly tucked beneath a metallic backplate, eliminating the usually visible cable clutter. This innovative design not only preserves the aesthetic appeal but also maintains a clean look inside the gaming rig, aligning with the modern trend of sleek and tidy setups123.
Hidden Power Connectors: A Sleek Innovation
The iGame Ultra Z series revolutionizes cable management with its hidden power connector design. The power connector, traditionally positioned on the side, has been ingeniously relocated underneath the backplate in the Ultra Z series. This backplate is securely held in place with magnets, granting easy access to the cable when needed. The cable is cleverly routed to the side facing the motherboard, achieving complete cable concealment. Moreover, the space allocated for the power cable is sufficient to allow it to bend at an acceptable angle, reducing the risk associated with cable bending and overheating12.
Performance and Specifications
The new additions to the iGame Ultra Z series, RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti, come with factory overclocking, pushing the GPU to 2580 MHz, which is 1.8% and 4.9% above the reference value for the 4060 Ti and 4060 models respectively. This overclocking augments the performance, delivering better frame rates and smoother gameplay. Additionally, these models are outfitted with standard 8-pin power connectors, which are a tried-and-tested solution, ensuring reliable power delivery without the theoretical risk of overheating associated with higher wattage connectors. All models in the Ultra Z series share the same triple-fan cooling system, ensuring optimal thermal performance during intense gaming sessions2.
The Ultra Z series models have a unique PCB design and a modified cooling system that facilitates the hidden power cable feature. They all feature a triple-fan cooler design with dimensions measuring 31.3 x 18.9 cm, and the graphics cards vary in thickness (ranging between 48 and 50.5 mm) and weight (ranging between 0.98 and 1.12 kg), depending on the specific SKU. These variations allow gamers to choose a model that fits their specific needs and preferences, all while enjoying the sleek design and high performance that the iGame Ultra Z series offers12.
Although the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti Ultra Z models are not yet available for purchase, they have been officially listed on Colorful’s website, signaling an imminent launch. As Colorful continues to innovate within the gaming hardware landscape, the iGame Ultra Z series stands as a testament to its commitment to delivering aesthetically pleasing and high-performance solutions to gamers.
