Voltage Regulator

Intel DH55TC comes with a five-phase voltage regulator circuit, and everything leads us to believe that three phases are for the CPU, one phase is for the integrated memory controller and one phase is for the integrated video processor. All capacitors used on the voltage regulator circuit are solid, but like other motherboards from Intel, DH55TC uses iron chokes, which are not as good as ferrite chokes. The reduced number of phases and the use of iron chokes are not the best combination. Please read our Everything You Need to Know About the Motherboard Voltage Regulator tutorial for more information.

See how this motherboard uses an ATX12V connector for the CPU.

By the way, all other capacitors used on this motherboard are Japanese from Chemi-Con.
