Advanced Thermal Design
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, and chipset. The heat
pipe, heatsink, and strategic board layout were tailor-made to dissipate heat
in the most efficient manner.
