ASUS Quiet Thermal Solutions
ASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes system more stable and enhances the overclocking
capability.
ASUS Fanless Design—Heat-pipe solution
The Heat Pipe design effectively directs the heat generated by the vCore area to the
heatsink near the back IO ports, where it can be carried away by existing airflow from
CPU 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. The Heat Pipe design is the most reliable fanless thermal solution to date.
DO NOT uninstall the heat-pipe by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and affect the
heat dissipation performance.
