Advanced Thermal Design

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. 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.

8-Phase Power Design
The ASUS 8-Phase Power Design prolongs CPU lifespan and keeps the

system stable by preventing high power stress to the CPU and power supply

module. The design ensures high efficiency operation to generate less heat

compared with conventional power solutions, thus achieving cool system

environment and making this motherboard ideal for overclocking.

Fanless Design and Heat-pipe
The ASUS fanless design allows multi-directional heat flow from major

thermal sources in the motherboard to lower overall system temperature,

resulting in quieter operation and longer system life. ASUS has devoted

special efforts to address the thermal issues across the motherboard, and

most notably in the following areas: CPU, power, VGA, Northbridge and

Southbridge. The heat pipe, heatsink, and strategic board layout were tailor

made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.
