Interest in inproving the VRM section on most P4P800 except deluxe versions.

For example I have a M4A785-M with 3 MOSFETs per inductor coil for total of 5 sets. Pair of smaller SMD and now in question of interest is two larger MOSFETs bridged together in parallel. On P4P800 Deluxe all 3 larger MOSFETs per inductor coil which are one different MOSFET and two pair of MOSFETs bridged together in parallel to drive per inductor coil for three groups of circuits to drive all three coils.

On my plain, P4P800, only two MOSFETs drivers per coil and one spot is unused. Can you check your Deluxe version to see if bridged pair of MOSFETs are same part numbers?

I plan to improve the P4P800 CPU VRM power circuits by replacing the one MOSFET transistor with matched pair of better ratings to fill the blank spot for more reliability. I know what to do on this regard as I work with electronics repair for years.

Thanks and cheers, pentiumspeed.
