1.3.2 ASUS AI Life features
Serial ATA I/II technology and SATA-On-The-Go
The motherboard fully supports the Serial ATA II 3.0 Gb/s technology through
the Serial ATA interfaces and the Intel
®
ICH7R MCH. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s
specication provides twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with
a host of new features, including Nativa Command Queueing (NCQ), and Power
Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm. Serial ATA allows for thinner, more
exible cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage required.
Leveraging these Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s features is the SATA-On-The-Go. Supported
by the Jmicron
®
JMB363 Serial ATA controller are two Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s
connectors (one at mid-board and one on the rear panel) provide smart setup, and
hot-plug function. See pages 2-29 and 2-34 for details.
AI Quiet
The ASUS AI Quiet function dynamically controls CPU speed and reduces
temperature and fan speeds, thus minimizing noise and ensuring quiet operation.
See page 4-35 for details.
ASUS 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 by 20ºC. The motherboard
uses a special design on the printed circuit board (PCB) to dissipate heat that
critical components generate. See page 2-3 for details.
1.3.3 Innovative ASUS features
AI NOS™ (Non-Delay Overclocking System)
ASUS Non-delay Overclocking System™ (NOS) is a technology that auto-detects
the CPU loading and dynamically overclocks the CPU speed only when needed.
See page 4-21 for details.
