Chapter 1: Product Introduction

ASUS Power Saving Solution

ASUS Power Saving solution intelligently and automatically provides balanced

computing power and energy consumption.

ASUS EPU-6 Engine
The new ASUS EPU—the world’s first power saving engine, has been

upgraded to a new 6 engine version, which provides total system power

savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power

in real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes the

CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives and CPU cooler / system

fans), the EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via

intelligent acceleration and overclocking - helping save power and money.

See page 4-24 for details.

AI Nap
With AI Nap, the system can continue running at minimum power and noise

when you are temporarily away. To wake the system and return to the OS

environment, simply click the mouse or press a key. See page 4-20 for

details.

ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution

ASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes system more stable and enhances the

overclocking capability.

Fanless Design—Stack Cool 2
ASUS Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution that lowers

the temperature of critical heat generating components. The motherboard

uses a special design on the printed circuit board (PCB) to dissipate heat

these critical components generate.

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 or bundled optional 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.
