Article Request - 8 phase vs. 12 phase power

Asus M2N32 & P5N32 vs. Gigabyte 12 phase vs. DFI ultra-D

- - -

well, the comparison could be -

Asus P5N32

new Gigabyte 12 phase - is this a 965 chipset board ?

DFI- Ultra D - known for over-clocking - does it have extra good power processing circuitry on this ?

so, since Toms Hardware has oscilloscopes, right ? could you look at the power supply stability, line in 12 V under "maximum gaming" (or maximum 3D studio max rendering)
condition ?

in the previous article

that was really enthusiastic about the Asus P5N32, Anandtech talks about the relationship between overclocking and voltage stability and the 8-phase power.

so, obviously, it's not just a fancy trademark - the P5N32 has some extra-good power-processing circuitry.

i mention the DFI ultra-D because it overclocks well, so i figure it must have some good power processing circuitry. no 8 phase nothing, but, still good. 6 1/2 phase maybe. who knows. low-ripple, anyway.

M2N32 - probably would be interesting to include that. to compare the 8 phase on the AMD side of the house with the 8 phase on the Intel side of the house.

so, 2 Asus boards, the Gigabyte 12 phase boards, and the DFI ultra-D - an article about the relationship between voltage stability under load (low ripple) and over-clock-ability.

it would also be interesting to see how one of the good less expensive boards, such as the Asus A8N-E, which has a big following, holds up with a good power supply. that is, how much can a REALLY good power supply overcome the absence of the 8 and 12 phase boards.

anyway, thanks for listening, and thanks for all the great articles.

P.S. if you do an eval. like this, can i have one of the eval boards afterwards ? :-) even if you blow it up, i can frame it and hang it on the wall.
