u should read somewhere else.. and share ur readings..

to be fair to biostar, they never claimed that DPU (digital power unit) = digital pwm. 

u gotta consider d cost factor here, what do u expect from a manufacturer of value line? to sell their boards @ value price but to use top notch materials (like evga top of d line x58 board which uses better caps, chokes & etc in their pwm > these stuffs are even better than what have been used on msi premium boards which claimed as military class)? be practical, we always get what we pay for. some more, it's not that biostar doin badly in oc, in fact, some of their 7xx boards really impressed me, particularly d 790gx a3+ which to me is one of d best 790gx board around (oc wise), comparable to boards from premium brands like asus, giga & msi. 

i haven't try (dun think i will have such luxury nowadays) their 8xx boards but i'm pretty sure they'll shine for budget range. d only let down for their 890fx board is as what mentioned, lesser phase of pwm if compared to others.  

on a side note, by right 1 phase of pwm should include a group of mosfets, cap(s) & 1 driver (ic i supposed). if u observe clearly, some manufacturer(s) claimed that their boards are of x+x phase of pwm, but when u check thier pwm area it doesn't tally w/ what they claimed. i have no qualms on this (could be d case diff manufacturer diff standard on pwm thingy) as long as these boards perform.
