CPU power
288 W
Limited · 0.9x
Wired for about 288 W, roughly 96% of the 300 W that the top Core i9 chips pull. Pair it with a mid-range processor rather than a flagship. The figure comes from its 10+1 power-stage (VRM) layout and 8 EPS connectors. It is a rating of what the board is built to deliver, not a measurement, so treat it as headroom rather than a guarantee.
