DrMOS

The onboard VRMs feature 14+1 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that 12th Gen Intel Core processors demand.The power stages are each rated to handle 80 amperes to provide stable performance for current and future Intel processors.

DrMOS power stages approved by Intel provide more efficient voltage regulation to the CPU while also generating less heat than traditional MOSFET designs.
