For those who want the cream of the crop, for £499 (A whole 30% off!) you can get the flagship X570 Godlike. It's an overkill motherboard and totally unnecessary but at such a huge price discount, it's something worth considering. Can't imagine this beautiful price tag will last long though, so get it while you can. Not sure if any other country has this, but it's a killer deal for those of us in the UK at least.

Still $700 in the U.S., 499 is a steal if you were looking to go all out.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

What does an infineon powerstage do/look like? As in, what is its purpose?

it's part of the VRM or power delivery

 

here you can get a bit of an idea of the one used on this board: https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/power/dc-dc-converters/integrated-power-stages/tda21472/

 

and if you can do it without falling asleep, a bit of motherboard moses:

So...

  • Better optimized PCB layout

  • Better heat transfer

  • Better driver/MOSFET control timing, which enables higher efficiency at lower output voltages required by a high end CPU/GPU/RAM

  • Minimal switch node ringing 

  • Superior current sense accuracy versus best-in-class controller-based inductor DCR sense methods

  • Cycle-by-cycle protection over current protection with programmable threshold

  • VCC/VDRV UVLO protection

  • Phase fault detection

  • IC temperature reporting

  • Thermal shutdown

  • Auto-replenishment of the bootstrap capacitor to prevent over-discharging

  • A deep-sleep power saving mode, which greatly reduces the power consumption when the multiphase system enters PS3/PS4 mode

Is that about the gist of it? I would also think less strain on the PSU which in turn would give the PSU a longer life span?

So...

i'd mostly keep it on a simple idea

 

better powerstage is more power with less heat

 

that's what 99% of the people needs to know

 

and with that comes monitoring, advanced protection triggers and so on, but that's for the 1% that probably watches buildzoid already
