Performance<\/h2>\n

Premium Power Design<\/h3>\n

Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of AMD processors. The motherboard is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 14(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80A each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future AMD processors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ProCool Power Connectors<\/h4>\n

Proprietary 8+8 pin connectors improve PSU connection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Compared to traditional power inputs, ASUS ProCool connectors are built to tight specifications to ensure full contact with PSU power cables. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and connector failure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
