Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.

The Alpha VRM is comprised of 16 IR3555 PowIRstages, each rated to handle 60 amps

Robust power delivery starts at the component level. Every aspect of the Alpha VRM is generously over-specified for the task.

The monstrous compute power of high core count processors necessitates a power circuit that rapidly responds to massive current swings. And those demands increase exponentially when the CPU is overclocked. Featuring an array of 16 strategically paired power stages, the Alpha's VRM is geared for any workload and all operating conditions.

POWER ARCHITECTURE

Overclocked multi-core processors place incredible loads on the VRM when transitioning between load states. However, conventional motherboard design practices place primary focus on component specs without implementing circuit topologies that provide optimal transient response. The Alpha bucks industry trends by utilising teamed PowIRstages to double the burst current of each phase and rapidly respond to load changes.

The Alpha's VRM reacts quickly to load changes and suffers from less overshoot and undershoot than alternative power solutions, allowing the processor to remain stable at lower average core voltages.
