With expensive Resetable Fuse, the motherboard can be resumed back to normal function even after the fuse had done its protection job.
Online Manual MX46-800N / MX46-800L Low ESR Capacitor The quality of low ESR capacitor (Low Equivalent Series Resistance) during high frequency operation is very important for the stability of CPU power. The idea of where to put these capacitors is another know-how that requires experience and detail calculation. Not only that, MX46-800N / MX46-800L implements 2200μF capacitors, which are much larger than normal capacitor (1000 & 1500μF) and provide better stability for CPU power.
Online Manual MX46-800N / MX46-800L The power circuit of the CPU core voltage must be checked to ensure system stability for high speed CPUs (such as the new Pentium III, or when overclocking). A typical CPU core voltage is 2.0V, so a good design should control voltage between 1.860V and 2.140V. That is, the transient must be below 280mV. Below is a timing diagram captured by a Digital Storage Scope, it shows the voltage transient is only 143mv even when maximum 60A current is applied.
