3.6.4 ASUS Smart Thermal Solutions
ASUS provides two smart solutions to Slot 1 CPU thermal problems: the ASUS
Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FAN and the ASUS P2T-Cable.
ASUS S-P2FAN
The optional ASUS Smart Fan or
ASUS S-P2FAN is a CPU fan for a
Pentium
®
II processor packaged in
an SECC. Unlike other CPU thermal
solutions, the ASUS S-P2FAN has
an integrated thermal sensor located
near the center of the CPU heat source. The sensor is optimized by ASUS to give the
most accurate reading of the CPU temperature, thus provides the best protection to
your computer system.
To Use the ASUS S-P2FAN
See 2. Attach the Heatsink on the preceding page for the relevant procedures. Note
that the S-P2FAN comes with a rock arm design for easy FAN/CPU installation.
