1-4 Chapter 1: Product Introduction
ASUS AI Direct Link
AI Direct Link can easily and efciently transfer large amounts of data via the
network cable - saving up to 70% of the total time taken. With AI Direct Link, it
becomes easy to backup or share large data les like movies or other media
content. See page 4-28 for details.
ASUS Power Saving Solution
ASUS Power Saving solution intelligently and automatically provides balanced
computing power and energy consumption.
ASUS EPU-6 Engine
The new ASUS EPU—the world’s rst power saving engine, has been
upgraded to a new six-engine version, which provides total system power
savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power
in real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes
the CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, ddrives and system fan), the EPU
automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via intelligent
acceleration and overclocking - helping save power and money. See page
4-24 for details.
ASUS 8-Phase Power Design
Longer Life, & Higher Efciency!
With power efciency so important to operating temperatures, ASUS' 3rd
generation 8-phase VRM design leads the industry with its 95% power
efciency. High quality power components such as low RDS (on) MOSFETs
for minimum switching loss & lower temperatures, Ferrite core chokes with
lower hysteresis loss, and high quality Japanese-made conductive polymer
capacitors all add up to ensure longer component life and lower power loss
- creating more energy efciency.
AI Nap
With AI Nap, the system can continue running at minimum power and noise
when you are temporarily away. To wake up the system and return to the OS
environment, simply click the mouse or press a key. See page 4-20 for details.
ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution
ASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes system more stable and enhances the
overclocking capability.
