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 - Heat-pipe solution
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

airflow 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-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.

For optimal cooling performance, remove the protect film attached on the

ICH10R southbridge before use.

Fan Xpert
ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows users to adjust both the CPU and chassis

fan speed according to different ambient temperature, which is caused

by different climate conditions in different geographic regions and system

loading. Built-in variety of useful profiles offer flexible controls of fan speed to

achieve a quiet and cool environment. See page 4-21 for details.
