I always see this advertised on graphic cards or motherboards, " ours has 8 power phases for more stable overclocking!' What is a power phase, and what does it actually do?
 

Very informative answer, thanks!
 


Intel has decided to get rid of the FIVR (Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator) with the Skylake microarchitecture processors that will be released in the second half of this year.
 


so...that mean mobos compatible with skylake won't have vrm??
 


Oh ok.
