Performance
20+1+2+1+1 Power Phase Design
Featuring sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capabilities and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.
SPS (Smart Power Stage)
Dr.MOS design features the latest SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology. It’s optimized for monitoring current and temperature of each phase, thus delivering smoother and neater power to the CPU with enhanced performance and OC capability.
Hi-Density Power Connector
CPU overclocking requires higher current. ASRock Hi-Density Power Connectors are designed to withstand higher currents compared to traditional CPU and ATX power connectors, providing a more stable system and reducing the risk of fire during heavy overclocking.
Exclusive 20K Cap with 1000uF Capacitance
The upgraded 20K Black capacitor not only extends the lifespan to 20,000 hours but also increases the capacitance value from 560uF to 1000uF, bringing several benefits:

●Higher Capacitance: Greater charge storage for better support under high loads.
●Lower Ripple: Reduced power output fluctuations, improving quality.
●More Stable Output Current: Stable power supply, minimizing voltage impacts.
●Better Performance & System Stability: Increased reliability and consistent performance.
