Dual Voltage Regulator
Contents
Gigabyte has a very fancy solution of dual voltage regulator called DPS (Dual Power System) on their high-end motherboards, where if the motherboard voltage regulator fails, the secondary voltage regulator keeps supplying power to the motherboard and your PC won’t turn off and you also won’t need to replace your motherboard. This system also provides a fan that helps motherboard cooling also giving an interesting visual aspect, since this fan uses a blue LED.
