ASUS P5NSLI Series 1-5
1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features
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.
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 pages 2-26 for details.
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.
ASUS Two-slot thermal design
The motherboard is designed with two PCI Express x1 slots placed between
the PCI Express x16 slots allowing an increase in airflow between the two
PCI Express x16 graphics cards. This special design permits more room for
ventilation thus lowering the overall system temperature.
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD
in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates
the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 2-6 for details.
