Some of these mods are not needed on retail boards (OCP is set to 360 amps by default and the input inductors for the EPS 12V line have been uprated). I had to urge MSI heavily during development to make these changes otherwise all retail boards would have been 1.0 and capped to around 180 amps VCC. The switching frequency is the only mod benchers may want to try.

Bear in mind though that MSI are holding back one "modification" at present relating to the high VTT requirement of this board and its apparent issues clocking memory as well as other boards when used with the same CPU and memory modules.
