EVGA has announced a new toy for overclockers. The ‘Untouchables’ EPOWER V VRM board can supply additional power to your graphics card or motherboard, so you can potentially achieve higher overclocks than would otherwise be possible.
It features two fully-independent voltage outputs, and the built-in EVBot MKII lets you control the voltage on-the-fly using physical buttons, so you don’t have to reboot the system after making voltage adjustments.
The board is powered by three 6-pin PCIe power connectors and is equipped with a 12+2-phase design that EVGA says can provide significantly more Vcore and Vmem to your components.
There are also onboard Vcore and Vmem LED displays so you can check on the voltages in real-time, in addition to a USB 3.1 Type-C port for connecting to your PC and taking advantage of software-based controls.
In addition, there are more physical controls such as DIP switches, which you use to configure remote sense control for VDroop, voltage forcing, and voltage offsets.
Finally, the VRM board also comes with ProbeIT connectors for hooking up to a multimeter, and fan headers should you need to keep it cool.
That said, this isn’t something for the casual user, and you’ll have to remove the onboard VRM inductors on your GPU and solder the board to the card if you want to overclock it in this manner.
The EPOWER V board retails for US$249. EVGA partner Kingpin has also written a guide here, with more details on how to install and use it.
