One of the critical functions of a motherboard is delivering power to the CPU. 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 found on motherboards currently sold. It is intended to provide a quick technical reference for enthusiasts and does not in any way rate the motherboards or their real power delivery.
DISCLAIMER: As all the information on these sheets is sourced through publicly available means, there are boards for which information cannot be stricken, and errors may occur in our 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.
