ASUS Xtreme Phase
ASUS True 16+2 Phase Power Design
The groundbreaking 16+2 phase VRM design is brought to the ASUS motherboards.
16+2 phase power design, 16-phase for vCore and extra 2-phase for QPI/Memory
controller inside CPU, can provide the highest power efficiency, and hence generates
less heat to effectively enhance the overclocking capability. With the high quality power
components such as low RDS (on) MOSFETs, Ferrite core chokes with lower hysteresis
loss, and 100% high quality conductive polymer capacitors, ASUS 16+2 phase VRM
design also ensure longer component life and minimum power loss.
ASUS Exclusive Features
MemOK!
Memory compatibility is among the top concerns during computer upgrades. Worry no
more. MemOK! is the fastest memory booting solution today. This remarkable memory
rescue tool requires nothing but a push of a buttton to patch memory issues and get
your system up and running in no time. The technology is able to determine failsafe
settings that can dramatically improve your system booting success. Refer to page
2-24 for details.
ASUS EPU
The ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management by
detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power usage for critical PC
components in real-time–helping save power and money! Refer to page 4-5 for details.
Express Gate
Express Gate™ is an ASUS exclusive OS that provides you with quick access to the
Internet and key applications before entering the Windows ® OS. Refer to page 3-35
and 4-8 for details.
ASUS Quiet Thermal Solutions
ASUS Quiet Thermal solutions make the system more stable and enhance the overclocking
capability.
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.
DO NOT uninstall the heat-pipe by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and affect the
heat dissipation performance.
