Impact Power
The Impact Power vertical architecture provides you the same vaunted overvolting and
overclocking flexibilities just like any othe ROG boards - without sacrificing stability,
overclocking, and precision on mini-ITX form factor. For precise CPU/memory digital power
control, Impact Power utilizes the best components such as BlackWing chokes, special fin
design, and super-premium 10K black metallic solid state capacitors.
BlackWing chokes can handle as much as 60A of power, which is twice that of generic
chokes.The special fin design, with its highly conductive and efficient gold-treated coating,
results in 3-5C lower choke temperatures for added stability and ensures minimal-loss power
delivery. Super-premium 10K Black Metallic solid state capacitors are forged for overclocking
and the most extreme demands, lasting up to five times longer than generic capacitors with
20% wider temperature tolerance.
