ASUS Smart Thermal Solutions
(only for motherboards with hardware monitor)
ASUS provides two smart solutions to Slot 1 CPU thermal problems: the ASUS
Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FAN and the ASUS P2T-Cable.
ASUS S-P2FAN
The optional ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FAN is a CPU
fan for a Pentium
®
II processor packaged in an SECC. Un-
like other CPU thermal solutions, the ASUS S-P2FAN has
an integrated thermal sensor located near the center of the
CPU heat source. The sensor is optimized by ASUS to give
the most accurate reading of the CPU temperature, thus
provides the best protection to your computer system.
To Use the ASUS S-P2FAN
See 2. Attach the Heatsink on the preceding page for the relevant procedures. Note
that the S-P2FAN comes with a rock arm design for easy FAN/CPU installation.
ASUS P2T-Cable
The optional ASUS P2T-Cable can be
used for a Pentium
®
III/II processor pack-
aged in an SECC2/SECC or a Celeron™
processor packaged in an SEPP.
NOTE: The ASUS P2T-Cable can
only be used in a Slot 1 motherboard
with a 2-pin thermal sensor connector.
To Use the ASUS P2T-Cable
NOTE: The following procedures assume that you have properly attached a
heatsink onto an SECC2/SECC/SEPP.
1. Simply peel off the tab from the sensor and then stick the sensor near the middle
edge of the Intel boxed processor heatsink with fan (middle) or to either the
upper or lower edge of the Celeron™ heatsink (right), as indicated.
