So as thread saying i was wondering if this board is good for my next build to replace my current rig.
I was thinking to buy this board when AMD Raven Ridge shows up. But there are some builder in my country that saying that this board has a bad vrm design, so i try to do a little research and found this, i quotes this from Kitguru,
"The 6+4-phase power delivery system will be split as six phases for the CPU and four for the SOC voltage rail. MSI uses an International Rectifiers IR35201 PWM controller which can manage up to eight phases. The presence of 3+2 (CPU+SOC) International Rectifiers IR3598 dual/doubler MOSFET drivers shows that MSI is leveraging phase doubling to drive the MOSFETs.
For the CPU power delivery section, six NIKOS PowerPAK PK616BA and twelve NIKOS PowerPAK PK632BA are combined. The SOC section gets four PK616BA MOSFETs and four PK632BA.
MSI’s power delivery system seems a little light for a flagship, overclocking-geared design. ASRock and ASUS offer higher total phase counts on their competitors while also using efficient Texas Instrument NexFET power blocks (MOSFETs)."
Ok so i am not a factory guy and i dont know what is this nikos or mosfets or ir pwm thing are.
Hope to get a reply soon, and thanks ^.^
