The review said, It’s quite a sparse VRM compared to more expensive boards, with only a pair of transistors going to each phase Each phase can be supplied with 50A of steady current to the CPU, combining for 400A total .The Crosshair V Formula has 3 FETs per phase, which can supply over 2000 amps to the CPU.It is not uncommon for this CPU to draw 350-450W at 1.5v and up, which means it is drawing a current upwards of 300 A. By that point, you are getting pretty close to the maximum output of the VRM, which is usually not a good thing.
