Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero AMD X570 Socket AM4 ATX

Teamed Power Architecture Modern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. Our latest VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current while maintaining exemplary thermal performance. Each VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers and phase-doublers control the circuit and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. That’s why ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero utilizes 16 power stages. The power stage sits at the top of Infineon’s lineup and features a low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses helping to improve overall thermal headroom.
