ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Preview

Power and Wrap Up

Lastly, under the silvery moon heatsink is the Strix X870-A power stage. You get a teamed layout of 16+2 of Smart Power Stages rated at 90A. Sixteen for the VCore, 2 for the SOC. Having teamed rather than doubled is a pick your poison thing. With teamed power stages you get higher ripple, but lower transient voltage drop, whilst the opposite is true for phase doubled solutions.
