yea i did my best with paint, and i have an EE background from the same place different location lol. Yea i try my best to help ppl understand, but its always hard to explain SMPS DC/DC to the general public, which is basically who i write too lol. So i try things like this, or make pictures with ICs in them and try to explain underneath. I all of a sudden thought hmm can i make it like a comic book? i honestly have never read a comic book, so i am not too sure if its any good. Of course we never really covered SMPS DC/DC as much as I have had to learn on my own, but its been very interesting.

Or am I missing something?
yea hahahah 200 amps is pretty high, i mean like 200 watts, more like 250. I made that in like 10mins, b/c i am editing pics for my review. Of course this VRM can put out ca bit more than that 35A X 8 for the CPu core Imax=280A(CPU-NB is separate), but the DrMOS have to be at 300khz(switching frequency), i measured a 280khz so we are good(maybe even more current output is possible), as when SF increases current output decreases as well, that's according to the datasheet. Anyways during my testing i found that the CPu can have the VRm pull upto 260watts at 4.2ghz when i set 1.63v. I did some pretty harsh testing, i am surprised it lived. I tested out things such as claims that go the DrMOS are to blame for the droop, which is incorrect, b/c i did the mod, and the voltage increases under load, just like it does for the CPU-NB voltage stock. Then ppl said the heatsink gets hot, and i concur it gets very heated, i cannot touch it when doing extreme testing, but the DrMOS lived with hours and hours of extreme heat and no good airflow, i used the stock cooler ......

I appreciate your feedback guys, more descriptive picture it is then!
