Power consumption of the two modules combined takes a fair few amperes, which has to be supplied via the dual 12V PCIe power sockets. This apporach is not unlike the ATi HD3870 X2.
3 phase power is available for both G92 chipsets, based around a Volterra power system. At its heart is the Volterra VT1165 power management controller, which has already been seen on a few generation of ATi graphics accelerators. Intersil's ISL6269 takes care of memory power this time around. Power delivery is replicated on both modules.
For those who can't get wait to get their hands dirty at voltage modifications, we've already uploaded a preliminary guide here. Try it at your own risk, however, for we have yet to finalize testing.
