I agree that # of phases isn't as important as what is controlling them. But Gigabyte ALWAYS uses really good hardware on their boards, even the lower models. The power stages used on the 32 phase UP7 you are referring to are good for 60A each at room temperature. That is a fucking lot of power, way more than they will ever need. Divided across all these, they will not need to break a sweat to run.

Theres not much to the board except for its monstrosity of a phase power, nonetheless, it's still impressive having it rated at 60A's each.

Not sure what makes you say those Asus boards "can easily beat out" this design... beat it at what?
|
Referring to the quality > quantity argument, the RoG boards don't need 32 phase powers @ 60A's to have the exact same overclocking capabilities.

Wrong. Gigabyte boards use Via VL800 controllers for their USB 3.0. These are NOT hubs, they are full xHCI host controllers.

You're right, my bad.

ASRock has lied outright about their VRMs being digital. Most will do things to cheap out, but not necessarily lie about it outright.

Paint a board gold, must be good
. People have to realize, Asrock is Asus' garbage.
