ASUS P8P67 PRO Motherboard
Voltage Regulator
Contents
The CPU voltage regulator circuit of the ASUS P8P67 PRO has 12 phases 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 a “12+2” configuration, using a digital design.

This motherboard uses military-grade components, including solid ferrite-core coils, which present less energy loss than iron-core coils (i.e., they improve efficiency), solid capacitors, and low RDS(on) transistors (i.e., higher efficiency).
