Gold Power Kit
Total 7 phases board power design enhances power efficiency and stability, delivers ultimate performance at OC mode.
Digital PWM: Decrease the ripple and enhance power efficiency
DirectFET: Minimizing conduction losses
Digital PWM solution works at a higher frequency and supports fine tuning adjustment and low ripple at a output voltage, enhancing power efficiency
Minimizing conduction losses with low Rdson and low inductance, providing the highest current in a lower temp. with excellent reliability.
SVI2 Green PowerBy detecting GPU temperature and loading status, SVI2 green technology supports GPU to dynamically adjust the clock speed along with voltage power, enhance the power efficiency
Multi Phase Design: 5+1+1 phases board power design
Enhance total stability / power efficiency
