ASRock P67 Pro3 Motherboard
Voltage Regulator
Contents
The CPU voltage regulator circuit of the P67 Pro3 has 10 phases, eight for the CPU main voltage (Vcc a.k.a. Vcore), and two for the CPU VTT voltage (integrated memory controller and L3 memory cache). Therefore it uses an “8+2” configuration.

This motherboard uses solid ferrite-core coils, which present less energy loss than iron-core coils (i.e., they improve efficiency), and solid capacitors. If you want to learn more about the voltage regulator circuit, please read our tutorial on the subject.
