ASUS Quiet Thermal Solutions
ASUS Quiet Thermal solutions make the system more stable and enhance the overclocking
capability.
Fanless Design—Heat pipe solution
The aesthetic 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 airflow
from CPU fan. This innovative and groundbreaking fanless heat pipe design effectively
lowers temperatures by up to 10ºC without having lifetime problems that a normal
chipset fan has. Furthermore, it provides options for users to install side-flow 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.
Fanless Design—Stack Cool 2
ASUS Stack Cool 2 is a fanless 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 generated by these critical
components.
ASUS Q-Fan 2
ASUS Q-Fan 2 technology intelligently adjusts both CPU fan and chassis fan speeds
according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient operation.
ASUS EZ DIY
ASUS EZ DIY feature collection provides you with easy ways to install computer components,
update the BIOS, or back up your favorite settings.
ASUS Q-Shield
The specially designed ASUS Q-Shield does without the usual “fingers”—making
it convenient and easy to install. With better electric conductivity, it ideally protects
your motherboard against static electricity and shields it against Electronic Magnetic
Interference (EMI).
ASUS Q-Connector
ASUS Q-Connector allows you to easily connect or disconnect the chassis front panel
cables to the motherboard. This unique module eliminates the trouble of connecting the
system panel cables one at a time and avoiding wrong cable connections.
ASUS O.C. Profile
The motherboard features the ASUS O.C. Profile that allows users to conveniently
store or load multiple BIOS settings. The BIOS settings can be stored in the CMOS or
a separate file, giving users freedom to share and distribute their favorite settings.
