The Formula bucks industry trends by utilizing teamed PowIRstages to double the burst current of each phase and rapidly respond to load changes. Featuring an array of 16 strategically paired power stages, the Formula's VRM is geared for any workload and all operating conditions.Ĭonventional motherboard design practices place primary focus on component specs without implementing circuit topologies that provide optimal transient response. The monstrous compute power of multi-core processors necessitates a power circuit that rapidly responds to massive current swings. ROG Crosshair VIII Formula comes equipped with an optimized power-design layout to handle the prodigious power of the latest AMD Ryzen processors without throttling. With VRM, PCH and M.2 heatsinks, ROG Crosshair VIII Formula ensures efficient and stable operation even when pushed hard. Heatsinks are extremely important for motherboards, as they absorb heat from critical areas to ensure components do not stagger due to overheating. ROG Crosshair VIII Formula features the most comprehensive cooling options ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. The redesigned cooling channels provide wider copper, delivering up to 29.3☌-lower MOSFET temperatures on water, and the standard G1/4" threaded fittings mean CrossChill EK III easily fits existing setups - so you can enjoy efficient, quiet cooling with the minimum effort. With its incredible cooling performance and gamer-oriented features, ROG Crosshair VIII Formula is the perfect foundation for your next high-performance gaming rig.ĬrossChill EK III lets you cool with air and water.
Keeping with the water-cooling theme, the ROG Crosshair VIII Formula features on-board lighting that casts a "rainfall" design which pops against the board's mirror finish and is accented by the ROG logo. ROG has partnered with EK Water Blocks to create an integrated VRM water-cooling solution that keeps the massive power of the latest AMD Ryzen processors under control.
