I want to identify the power phase count for two boards

GIgabyte GA970A-DS3P and the ASUS M5A97 (Original model, rev.1)

I know you could go counting the chokes for basics...but I am still pretty doubtful as I can find more than 4...maybe I am reading it wrong. The boards look complicated with so many components on.

Here is the in-depth guide that I read: http://goo.gl/nUGD5l
