The M5A97 PRO series offers unsurpassed compatibility with new AMD AM3+ socket CPUs,  whilst also being backwards compatible with the previous generation AM3 CPU. The M5A/97 core series is equipped with DIP2,  which features DIGI+ VRM technology in addition to the TPU & EPU. DIGI+ VRM power delivery allows users to precisely adjust & control power settings digitally for precise power control & flexible tuning of their system,  perfectly serving the AM3+ CPU specifications power dem&. Digital control differs from analogue controls by eliminating digital to analogue conversion lag,  which helps to improve overclocking capabilities. This means precise power flow adjustment & management as well as easy & flexible tuning including extra DRAM power control for the AMD platform. It is the most precise power delivery available,  providing the best-in-class in power efficiency,  performance & stability while also helping to maximize the overall overclocking potential.
