Games aren't really meant to find themselves with 64 threads to play with thanks to their console roots, and the results here bear this out. Total War : Warhammer in particular throws a complete strop.

SMDs at the back are capacitors for ironing out the current. Either aluminium polymer, or tantalum. Pretty much all VRM controllers on motherboards have 8 PWM signals. ASUS uses 8 PWM signals with 2 power stages for each signal. And in that case 8 PWM signals interleaving. MSI uses doublers for each PWM signal so in the end there are 16 PWM signals interleaving (one for each power stage). Both VRMs spread the load over 16 power stages for better efficiency. |
I meant to say PWM on the back not mosfet.... Just me being a spaz, I knew what I meant
