Optimized VRM Design
The Dr. MOS design incorporates the latest SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology. It is optimized to monitor the current and temperature of each phase, thus providing smoother and cleaner power to the CPU with greater performance and OC capacity.

These heating pads are much more effective than regular pads. With a thermal conductivity of 7 watts/mK, it is able to effectively dissipate heat from the MOSFET.

The 14-layer PCB comes with 3 sets of internal copper layers, providing stable signal traces and power forms that deliver lower temperatures and higher power efficiency for memory overclocking. Therefore!

2-ounce copper inner layers providing stable signal traces and power forms! With lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for overclocking.

It is equipped with a composite VRM heatsink and combines double fans, an aluminum array and a dissipation tube for maximum heat management.

Server grade PCB prevents PCB bending and improves signal integrity, delivering higher PCIe 4.0 and memory performance as well as system stability, delivering a reliable and durable system without any compromise.

Unlike traditional motherboards that use analog power, this motherboard uses next-generation digital PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) design that provides CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly, so that the stability and service life of The motherboard is much larger.
