1.3.2 “Ultimate COOL!” Thermal Solutions
TUF Thermal Armor
The TUF Thermal Armor is the world’s first ever thermal design for the entire motherboard,
not just for select critical areas. It safeguards the system against hot air generated by
connected cards and components, keeping temps down. With its sophisticated and agile
integrated shunt design, the Thermal Armor improves cool air circulation, directing it towards
every important part for a complete motherboard cool down. It effectively conducts hot air
away and out of the case through special airflow channels, contributing to enhanced system
stability and extending component lifespan.
TUF Thermal Radar
The TUF Thermal Radar monitors temps in critical parts of the motherboard in real time,
automatically adjusting fan speeds to make sure the system maintains high stability without
overheating. It consists of multiple sensors for various components on the motherboard,
giving user the ability to monitor each one individually. The Thermal Radar automatically
calculates ideal fan speeds based on different parameters selected by users for each
component, keeping everything cooler and longer lasting.
1.3.3 “TUF ENGINE!” Power Design
DIGI+ VRM
The new ASUS DIGI+ VRM design upgrades motherboard power delivery to a digital
standard. The 8+2 digital architecture provides the highest power efficiency, generating less
heat to enhance longer component lifespan and ensure minimal powerloss. With ASUS
DIGI+ VRM, you can easily adjust power phase performance, enabling new PWM voltage
and frequency modulation controls. Digital 8+2 power phase design also expands the
modulation spectrum for improved stability and lower VRM switching noise by dynamically
detecting system load, empowering you with superior flexibility and perfect precision to
ensure optimized performance, extreme system stability, and greater power efficiency.
TUF Components (Alloy Choke, Cap. & MOSFET; certified by military-standard)
Get rugged performance even in the most challenging conditions with robust TUF chokes,
solid capacitors, and MOSFETs – certified through third-party, military-grade testing. TUF
chokes, also known as the “Alloy Choke”, is a made of compound of various types of metal
instead standard iron, enables the support of up to a massive 40A of rated current, 25%
higher than conventional component. Furthermore, the single piece packaging also elimates
the emission of vibration noise, delivering superb characteristics as well as durability under
extreme conditions.
