The CPU voltage regulator circuit of the ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 has eight phases for the CPU main voltage (Vcc a.k.a. Vcore), one for the CPU VSA voltage (memory controller), one for the CPU VTT voltage (PCI Express and DMI interfaces), and four for the CPU integrated video controller (VAXG). Therefore, it uses a “8+1+1+4” configuration.
