Gigabyte has stormed the Computex 2014 show held in Taipei and among a rather vast line of new products, it also showed a new range of auxiliary VRM boards for graphics cards, aimed solely at professional overclockers.


The slave VRM board has to be manually soldered to the graphics card, which is definitely not for the faint hearted but rather those overclockers which burn their hardware on a daily basis while just trying to squeeze out the last drop of overclocked performance.

The slave VRM board has a high-current power stage, draws its power from no less than five 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors and is actively cooled by a fan+heatsink cooler. While there is no GPU that could draw that amount of power currently, the slave VRM board will make sure that there is no voltage drop during overclocking session, making the graphics card much more stable during the overclocking process.

This is not the first GPU VRM slave board we have seen as EVGA had a similar thing not long ago and we are definitely looking to see Gigabyte's version in action and hopefully Computex 2014 is the perfect place for it.
