One of the critical functions of a motherboard is delivering power CPU and adjacent ICs. This is however often overlooked by buyers, and information about its components is frequently obfuscated by manufacturers for marketing purposes. The following sheet provides a non-exhaustive overview of VRM components and configurations on Motherboards. It is intended to provide a quick reference for enthusiasts and does not in any way rate the motherboards or their power delivery.
DISCLAIMER: As all the information on these sheets is sourced through publicly available means, there are boards we simply do not have any information on, or we may have misinterpreted or used incorrect sources. Should you find any errors, discrepancies or have additional information, please contact the appropriate editor, who can be found on the about us page.
