ASUS True 16-Phase Power Design
The breakthrough technology of 16-phase VRM design is bringing to the ASUS
motherboards. 16-phase power design can reach the power efficiency up to 96%+,
and dispel heat generated by VRM module effectively, and lower more temperature
compared to other VRM solution. With the high quality power components such as
low RDS (on) MOSFETs, Ferrite core chokes with lower hysteresis loss, and 100%
Japan-made high quality conductive polymer capacitors, ASUS 16-phase VRM
design also ensure longer component life, minimum power loss, and help to reach
the superior overclocking score ever than before.

computing power and energy consumption.
ASUS EPU-6 Engine
The new ASUS EPU—the world's first power saving engine, has been
upgraded to a new 6 engine version, which provides total system power
savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power
in real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes the
CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives and CPU cooler / system
fans), the EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via
intelligent acceleration and overclocking—helping save power and money.
