ASUS 16-Phase Power Design
The breakthrough technology of 16-phase VRM design is bringing to the
ASUS motherboards. 16-phase power design can reach the power efciency
up to 96%
+
, and dispel heat generated by VRM module effectively, and lower
temperature 36°C
+
compared to other VRM solution. With all Japanese-made
best quality power components such as low RDS (on) MOSFETs, Ferrite
core chokes with lower hysteresis loss, and high quality conductive polymer
capacitors, ASUS 16-phase VRM design also ensure longer component life,
minimum power loss, and help to reach the superior overclocking score ever
than before.
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.
ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution
ASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes system more stable and enhances the
overclocking capability.
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 heat
these critical components generate.
Fanless Design - Pure Copper Heat-pipe
The Heat Pipe design effectively directs the heat generated by the chipsets to
the heatsink near the back IO ports, where it can be carried away by existing
airow from CPU fan or bundled optional fan. The purpose of the innovative
heat pipe design on this motherboard is that the groundbreaking fanless
design does not have lifetime problems as a chipset fan does. Furthermore, it
provides options for users to install side-ow fan or passive cooler. The Heat
Pipe design is the most reliable fanless thermal solution to date.
DO NOT uninstall the heat-pipe by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and
affect the heat dissipation performance.
For optimal cooling performance, remove the protect lm attached on the
ICH10R southbridge before use.
