never really understood why the CPU and graphics card need additional power. Seems all the voltages the board needs is supplied by the 24 pin atx.
if vcore is around 1.3v and GPU about .9v then where is all the extra voltage used? how many 12 volt lines do you need going to these devices?
is it that the board can't physically supply voltages past a certain point and these devices need to be directly fed by the PSU? even still doesn't explain the fact they use very little voltages.
