18+2+1 DUET RAIL POWER SYSTEM
Unleash and sustain the maximum performance with a flagship VRM design built with a total of 18+2+1 Duet Rail Power System. Combining dual power connectors and 110A Smart Power Stage, MPG X870E CARBON WIFI is ready for the challenge of high-end processors.
Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS)
Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are safety devices used to protect against excessive voltage. All motherboard models of MSI are equipped with TVS. When the voltage abnormally rises, the TVS switches from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state, diverting the excessive voltage to ground. This helps prevent circuit damage caused by high voltage.
OPTIMIZED PCB SOLUTION
The PCB design has been optimized for higher bandwidth and faster transfer speeds, which is also beneficial for reliable circuit transmission.
