USB flash disk containing the BIOS file. See page 2-7 for details.

ASUS Q-Fan technology

Fanless design

ASUS has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across the

motherboard, and most notably the areas that reside the CPU, power, Northbridge

dissipate heat in the most efficient manner. With the addition of Stack Cool 2, users

can even overclock without a noisy, bulky fan.
