ASUS's 101 VRM training program

[orbitalwalsh]

thought peeps would like a watch

though have a feeling ASUS will use XDPE132G5C 16 phase controller next in their Thread Ripper and intel boards !

or 10 pwm controller - IR35223

looks like they wont be ditching Twin design any time soon but above controllers should help them equal Aorus boards as Twin and Extended can match their current X570 Master and Xtreme VRM design

be interesting to see ASUS do same above with Asus Hero/Formula with 14 phases ( PWM 7+1 mode with each channel controlling 2 Integrated Mosfet units ) vs Aorus Master 12 Phases ( PWM 12+2 mode with no Twinning or doubling ) and seeing how it fairs out . As they have only listed Twinned vs Extended

Formula 14x 60A

(MSI & ASrock top part of the diagram vs ASUS Twin design)

Master 12x 50A

Xtreme 14x 70A ( both is and Hero/Formula sharing 14 mosfets in different configs)

Spoiler: prcing
