ASUS Intelligence (AI) features

ASUS Stack Cool 2

ASUS Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution that lowers
the temperature of critical heat generating components by 20ºC. The
motherboard uses a special design on the printed circuit board (PCB) to
dissipate heat that critical components generate. See page 2-3 for details.

AI Quiet

The ASUS AI Quiet function dynamically controls CPU speed and reduces
temperature and fan speeds, thus minimizing noise and ensuring quiet
operation. See page 4-35 for details.

IEEE 1394a support

The motherboard supports the IEEE 1394a interface that provides
high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of peripherals and
devices compliant to IEEE 1394a standards. The IEEE 1394a interface
allows up to 400 Mbps transfer rates through simple , low-cost,
high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between
computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as
camcorders, VCRs, printers, TVs, and digital cameras. See pages 2-33 and
2-38 for details.
