it doesn't affect the power supply or anything else you really need to worry about.



Good to know, thanks for the info.

Hi guys. Just moved over from Gigabyte to the ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming.

I notice a footnote on newegg about it being "12 phase" which I assume refers to the power supply.

Is there anything in particular I need to know about this...??(assume I'll understand)

Also, anything in general I need to know about these boards as opposed to giga's...??

Thanks.
