1.3.2 ASUS AI Lifestyle features
ASUS has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across the
motherboard, and most notably the areas that reside the CPU, power, Northbridge
and Southbridge.
Advanced thermal design
Stack Cool 2
Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution offered exclusively
by ASUS. It effectively transfers heat generated by the critical components
to the other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for
effective heat dissipation.
8 Phase Power Design
ASUS 8-Phase Power Design keeps CPU and power module away from
suffering risk of high power stress, which makes CPU lifetime much longer
and system more stable. Furthermore, It provides high efficiency operation
to generate less heat than conventional power solutions and consequently
achieve cool system environment. With this strong power pump, this
motherboard is made for overclocking.
Fanless Design: Heat-pipe Thermal solution
Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise and
malfunction likelyhood. ASUS Motherboard's fansless concept is specifically
created to provide a cool environment without all the baggage.
The heat pipe, heat sinks and strategic board layout were tailor made to
dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.
