Because it is, 8-phase design is a joke when trying to keep the 12 series Intel chips running even slightly beyond their specifications, but then again ASRock has never been a good and stable overclocking motherboard, not even their top end product.
When the resizable bar was introduced, all MB makers updated their bios within days, ASRock was the last, took them weeks, and even then it did not work how it was supposed to.
There is a great review on Hardware Unboxed site of a lot of the ASRock products and they are being slammed mercilessly for their cheap vrm's, lack of features, instability, poor workmenship, bad overclocking and ridiculous pricing compared to many other better brand motherboards.
They are also 50 amps phases if they where 70 or higher with at least some cooling i would have been a bit more confident in that vrm. 8 phases can be more than fine especially if it is all for the cpu , the 8 phases we see here are not all for the cpu 1 phase is for the ram and 1 to 3 of those for the igp ... Most likely just 1 so this is 6+1+1 vrm most likely .... That said for an i3 will be more than fine

ASRock OC Formula and Aqua would like to have a word with you
, also hardware unboxed is very bias towards other manufacturers other than gigabyte.
