1.3.2 “TUF ENGINE!” Power Design
E.S.P. – Efcient Switching Power Design
Exclusively for this motherboard, the switching power design is provided not only for the
CPU, but also for other key components such as chipsets. E.S.P. dramatically improves
system efciency and reduces heat generation.
TUF Components (Choke, Cap. & MOSFET; certied by military standard)
Get rugged performance even in the most challenging conditions with robust chokes,
capacitors, and MOSFETs – certied through third-party, military-grade testing.
1.3.3 “Ultimate COOL!” Thermal Solutions
CeraM!X Heatsink Coating Technology
Innovative ceramics actively conducts heat away from the system. It replaces traditional
antioxidants to dissipate heat better with its microscopic irregular surface and enlarged area.
Better cooling leads to overall improvement in system stability.
DO NOT uninstall the heatsink module by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and
affect the heat dissipation performance.
ASUS Fan Xpert
ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows you to adjust both the CPU and chassis fan speeds
according to different ambient temperatures caused by different climate conditions in different
geographic regions and your PC’s loading. The built-in variety of useful proles offer exible
controls of fan speed to achieve a quiet and cool environment. Refer to page 4-4 for details.
