3.6.6 Smart Thermal Solutions
Two smart solutions to Slot A CPU thermal problems are available from ASUSTeK
COMPUTER INC.: the ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-K7FAN and the ASUS P2T-
Cable.
ASUS S-K7FAN
The optional ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-K7FAN is a
CPU fan for a processor packaged in a Single Edge Con-
tact Cartridge (SECC). Unlike other CPU thermal solu-
tions, the ASUS S-K7FAN has an integrated thermal sen-
sor located near the center of the CPU heat source. The
sensor is optimized to give the most accurate reading of
the CPU temperature, thus provides the best protection to
your computer system.
To Use the ASUS S-K7FAN
See 2. Attach the Heatsink on the preceding page for the relevant procedures. Note
that the S-K7FAN comes with a rock arm design for easy FAN/CPU installation.
ASUS P2T-Cable
The optional ASUS P2T-Cable can be
used for a processor packaged in an
SECC2/SECC/SEPP.
NOTE: The ASUS P2T-Cable can only
be used in a Slot A motherboard with a
2-pin thermal sensor connector.
To Use the ASUS P2T-Cable
NOTE: The following procedures assume that you have properly attached a
heatsink onto an SECC2/SECC/SEPP.
1. Simply peel off the tab from the sensor and then stick the sensor near the middle
edge of the boxed processor heatsink with fan, as indicated.
