Go to solution Solved by Samfisher,

So more phases is better? Or otherwise will i be fine with 4 phases? 

 

You will be fine with 4 Phases.  Like the above though, I prefer slightly more premium motherboard brands than Asrock, although Asrock is part of Asus.

Hello! I will buy an i5 4690k cpu and i'm wondering what mobo to get..

I'm thinking about Asrock z97 anniversary. So i'm wondering what  "4 Power Phase design" means ? 

Will this motherboard work with i5 4690k?

I wont overclock too high, maybe 3,7GHz or something like this ...

Why should you oc to 37 it already boosts to 39. But yes the mobo will work with cpu.

The 4690K already boosts past 3.7GHz  on it's own :P

 

Four phase just means the power delivery goes through 4 different "phases" capacitors and whatnot before being delivered to components for more stable power.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Ok, dont worry man, ASUS is a good brand. So go with a ROG class bord. And use AI suite to OC.
