The third section outlines the remaining phases of the motherboard layout, focusing on additional components such as RAM. It continues the progression toward the CPU and other parts of the system. An example is the B660M DS3H, where this section details how the board connects to the RAM slots.
The design directs all nine components to the CPU package. A dedicated VRM handles RAM and other parts. Six phases supply the Vcore, while two and one are assigned to the SOC or iGPU. It’s unclear precisely for the 12th generation, but the concept remains consistent. The CPU requires three distinct regulated input voltages from the motherboard VRM.
