ASUS P5E Deluxe 1-5
ASUS 3rd Generation 8-Phase Power Design
The ASUS 3rd Generation 8-Phase Power Design provides highly efficient
operation to generate less heat (at least 18°C (32.4°F)) than other
conventional power solutions. It reduces input ripple current and output ripple
voltage, which keeps CPU and power module from suffering the risk of high
power stress. It has the advantages of quick transient response and stability,
especially beneficial when CPU requires more current immediately under
heavy loading or overclocking mode.
Q-Fan 2
ASUS Q-Fan 2 technology intelligently adjusts both CPU fan and chassis
fan speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient
operation. See page 4-28 and 5-32 for details.
Fanless Design—Heat-pipe
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.
Optional Fan (for Water-Cooling or Passive-Cooling only)
The optional fan is specifically designed to provide sufficient airflow over the
CPU power modules and chipset area when water-cooling or passive-cooling
is utilized, ensuring effective heat dissipation for the entire system. See page
2-13 for details.
Gaming Level Audio Design: Supreme FX II
Supreme FX II delivers an excellent high definition audio experience to the gamers
of ROG. The SupremeFX II features unique audio innovations for gamers to spot
enemies in 3D environment during game play. SupremeFX II also provides a
special tool to emphasize human voices in games to help make dialogues clearer.
