Chapter 1
ASUS EPU
The ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management by
detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power usage for critical PC
components in real-time–helping save power and money!
ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution
ASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes system more stable and enhances the overclocking
capability.
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. 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.
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
profiles offer flexible controls of fan speed to achieve a quiet and cool environment.
ASUS Crystal Sound

conference and recording.
Noise Filtering

fans, air conditioners, and other background noises then eliminates it in the incoming
audio stream while recording.
ASUS EZ DIY
ASUS EZ DIY feature collection provides you easy ways to install computer components,
update the BIOS or back up your favorite settings.
