EVGA Upgrades 790i SLI FTW with Digital PWM
EVGA is one of the elite NVIDIA partners that sells NVIDIA-designed motherboards based on the nForce chipsets, apart from being a leading graphics card vendor. EVGA for one, added innovation to the NVIDIA designs with its own level of enhancements, such as improved capacitors, more number of CPU power phases than NVIDIA's own designs, among others. EVGA brands these higher-grade motherboards under the "FTW" series. If you've spent long enough time on an internet bulletin board, you would know that FTW means "for teh win".
EVGA decided to give its flagship motherboard, the nForce 790i SLI FTW an improvement with its power circuits. The new board, 790i SLI FTW PWM circuitry a digital upgrade. The board features an 8-phase circuit for the CPU. It also provides digital power management. This is said to push up its overclocking capabilities. The board provides vDroop control and onboard power, reset and clear CMOS buttons. The motherboard supports all LGA-775 socket processors including the ones with 1600 MHz FSB. It supports memory with speeds of up to DDR3 2000 MHz. The nForce 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL PWM is now on sale at $339.99, $40 higher than the older nForce 790i SLI FTW.

Seems i need a EE to give me a better answer.
I wonder what that really means for the board? DPM hmmmm, need to do some reading.
thanks for pointing out the new Evga addition!
thanks for the info...
Before the fanboys tar and feather me,;) t'is just a joke.
EDIT: I think the only difference between "analog" (normal) and digital PWMs is the switching frequency. Due to decreased filter capacitors size it seems that digital PWMs use much higher switching frequency.
They want me to go to the Ultra 790 for about 90 bucks extra.:mad:
Is XFX a good MB maker?
^yep. and people wonder why beginners are so confused.
Ofcourse I bought the least expensive setup because all I wanted was the tower, lol.
