1-4 Chapter 1: Product Introduction
High Denition Audio
This feature provides you with higher sound quality on the PC. The onboard 8-
channel HD audio (High Denition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC
enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output that simultaneously sends
different audio streams to different destinations. This multi-streaming capabilities
allow you to play two different audio tracks simultaneously, or do two different
tasks at the same time such as online chatting while playing multi-channel network
games. See pages 2-23 and 2-24 for details.
1.3.2 ASUS AI Lifestyle unique features
ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution
ASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes your system more stable and enhances the
overclocking capability.
AI Gear 2
AI Gear 2 allows you to choose from proles to adjust CPU frequency and
vCore voltage, minimizing system noise and saving 50% power consumption
at most. You can select the best performance setting to suit your computing
needs. See page 5-20 for details.
AI Nap
With AI Nap, the system can continue running at minimum power and noise
when you are temporarily away. To wake the system and return to the OS
environment, simply click the mouse or press a key. See page 5-21 for

8-Phase Power Design
The ASUS 8-Phase Power Design provides a highly efcient operation to
generate less heat (at least 15°C (59°F)) than other conventional power
solutions. It reduces input ripple current and output ripple voltage, which
keeps the CPU and power module from suffering the risk of high power
stress. It has the advantages of quick transient response and stability,
especially benecial when CPU requires more current immediately under
heavy loading or overclocking mode.
Fanless Design - Stack Cool 2
ASUS Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution that lowers
the temperature of critical heat generating components. The motherboard
uses a special design on the printed circuit board (PCB) to dissipate the heat
these critical components generate.
