AI NET2
AI NET2 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 connected to the LAN (RJ-45) port. During the bootup process, AI
NET2 immediately diagnoses the LAN cable and reports shorts and faults up to
100 meters at 1 meter accuracy. See pages 4-22 and 5-12 for details.
8-Phase Power Design
The ASUS 8-Phase Power Design prolongs CPU lifespan and keeps the system
stable by preventing high power stress to the CPU and power supply module. The
design ensures high efficiency operation to generate less heat compared with
conventional power solutions, thus achieving cool system environment and making
this motherboard ideal for overclocking.
Fanless Design and Heat-pipe
The ASUS fanless design allows multi-directional heat flow from major thermal
sources in the motherboard to lower overall system temperature, resulting in
quieter operation and longer system life. ASUS has devoted special efforts to
address the thermal issues across the motherboard, and most notably in the
following areas: CPU, power, VGA, Northbridge and Southbridge. The heat pipe,
heatsink, and strategic board layout were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most
efficient manner.
ASUS exclusive two-slot thermal design
ASUS two-slot thermal design provides better air-flow and lower
VGA cards temperature than other brans’ one-slot design, which also
ensures better system stability and longer component life cycle.
Precision Tweaker
This feature allows you to fine-tune the CPU/memory voltage and gradually
increase the Front Side Bus (FSB) and PCI Express frequency to achieve
maximum system performance.
PEG Link Mode
This feature enhances your PCI Express graphics card performance by allowing
the motherboard to automatically adjust the PCI Express graphics link mode to the
correct frequency based on the system configuration. Four additional settings are
available for overclocking the PEG Link Mode. See page 4-27 for details.
