VRM - voltage regulator module

Regarding the VRMs, you’ll find a nice package here. This setup should be enough for CPUs like even the i9 i9 12900K. The configuration of VCORE+VCCGT is 19+1.

The Vcore controller is the Renesas RAA229131 which gives 20 phases. The Vcore MOSFETS (19* RAA220105) deliver 19*105A = 1995A. For the VCCGT - the controller is the same (Renesas RAA229131), but there is one ISL99390 MOSFET - 90A. For the VCCAUX  - the controller is the NCP81270C.

The radiators for the VRMs are solid and weigh adequately.

Overall, four 40 mm fans are used in the radiator on the left side and the top of the socket. You can also see the two 8-pin EPS connectors. Based on the motherboard’s looks and weight, they should do their purpose good (which we’ll check later).
