A high and low mosfet with a choke and cap in each. Many ( perhaps most ) reviewers don't catch it since they also just look for the chokes and count... they aren't also looking for the controllers which are tiny and tougher to recognize unless your an electronics engineer or an advanced user.Look for reviews and/or comments from Buildzoid on Youtube ( his channel is "Actually Hardcore Overclocking" ) for the boards you are considering. Of course there is nothing wrong with using a 4 phase VRM... the 8 phase just brings cleaner power that runs a lot cooler making it better for anyone planning on extreme OC'ing ... a basic OC will likely be just fine using a 4 phase.If they did it... it'll likely be on the top end chipsets.</blockquote>
