MSI MEG Z690 GODLIKE Motherboard Review

VRM Overview

The Godlike features twenty 105A SPS (Smart Power Stages) Phases of power delivery for the CPU with two additional Phases for the SOC (System On Chip)

The VRM cooler covers both the top and bottom VRMs and features an RGB logo that is hidden beneath a mirror finish plate, the larger on the left is an RGB MSI Dragon that also features a grid pattern background across part of the design. The smaller plate on the right also features the grid design under a mirror finish but has a “GODLIKE” logo that lights up in RGB, all of which can be controlled through the MSI centre software.

The Back of the VRM cooler shows us how it is split into two sections and then connected with a heat pipe to spread the heat around and help cool the VRMs. In the right you can see the hollow section that is used to cover the rear I/O, you can also see the cable that connects to the motherboard to provide power and data to the RGB in the cooler.
