Teamed Power Stages

Digi+ Power Control

ProCool II Power Connector

Choke & Capacitor

6-Layer PCB

12+2 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest AMD Ryzen processors demand.

The ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry and ensures ultra-smooth power delivery to the CPU.

The ProCool socket is built to exacting specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines, enabling lower impedance and better heat dissipation.

Superior alloy chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, providing a higher level of performance than the industry standard.

The 6-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around the VRM to improve overall system stability and give the CPU more overclocking headroom.

Cool to the Core

The VRM and M.2 heatsink designs ensure effective cooling of the CPU and SSD to ensure system stability and fast storage performance for seamless content creation workflows.

VRM Heatsink & Thermal Pad

M.2 Heatsink

Stack Cool 3+

Large, high-mass heatsinks with an extensive surface area along with high-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from VRM and choke areas to improve heat dissipation.

Both M.2 drives sit under a passive heatsink to ward off the throttling that can occur with sustained transfers.

Layers of 2-ounce copper draw heat away from critical components to keep them at their optimal operating temperatures.
