Hello Everyone,
I am starting to research into power phases. The reason is because I am getting a new motherboard in a few days. It was not originally bought to be a replacement, but I am considering to use it anyways. The old motherboard is an ASrock Extreme4-M with hybrid phase design. This is the new one:

I know ASrock is usually better quality, but that doesn't mean they are always better. I have an i7-3770k I will be using in one of them and I want to have the best overclocking performance.
What I really want to know is what is the power phase of the Biostar board? It specifies 8-phase but it does not say if it is 8+2, 6+2, or 4+4. I heard that counting the little cubes near the CPU socket can tell you the number, but there are several of these cubes in other places so I am unsure.
Any help is much appreciated.
