CPU power
119 W
Limited · 0.5x
Wired for about 119 W, roughly 52% of the 230 W that the top Ryzen 9 chips pull. Pair it with a mid-range processor rather than a flagship. The figure comes from its 5+2+2 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.
