Gigabyte K8VNXP Review @ Extreme Overclocking

"Gigabyte's DPS K8 is a daughter card that changes the board's regular 3-phase power into a 6-phase circuit. Basically, this will ensure higher stability when the system is under stress, as when being overclocked. The system will run fine without the add in card but using it should theoretically makes the system run cooler, putting less stress on the other power components, provide cleaner power, and possibly prolong the life of the board. The fan cooling the card does light up although the chipset cooler does not."
The extra power daughter card is a pretty cool idea though from what I know abut onboard power supplies if its designed right to begin with you shouldn't ever need more than 3 phases.
