Chapter 1: Product introduction

Fanless Design

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.
ASUS has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across the

motherboard, and most notably the areas that reside the CPU, power, VGA,

Northbridge and Southbridge. The heat sinks and strategic board layout

were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.

AI NET 2

AI NET 2 is a BIOS-based diagnostic tool that detects and reports Ethernet

cable faults and shorts. With this utility, you can easily monitor the

condition of the Ethernet cable(s) connected to the Marvell LAN (RJ-45)

port. During the bootup process, AI NET 2 immediately diagnoses the LAN

cable and reports shorts and faults up to 100 meters at 1 meter accuracy.

See page 2-25 for details.

Precision Tweaker

This feature allows you to fine tune the CPU/memory voltage and gradually

increase the memory Front Side Bus (FSB) and PCI Express frequency at

1MHz increment to achieve maximum system performance.

ASUS MyLogo2™

This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and

add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See page 2-42 for
