ASUS Special features

ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution

ASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes system more stable and enhances the

overclocking capability.

AI Gear 2
AI Gear 2 allows you to choose from profiles to adjust CPU frequency and

vCore voltage, minimizing system noise and saving 50% power consumption

at most. You can real-time chnage the mode under operating system to suit

your needs. See page 5-20 for details.

AI Nap
With AI Nap, the system can continue running at minimum power and noise

when you are temporarily away. To wake the system and return to the OS

environment, simply click the mouse or press a key. See page 5-21 for

details.

8-Phase Power Design
The ASUS 8-Phase Power Design provides highly efficient operation to

generate less heat (at least 15°C (27°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.

Fanless Design - 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

these critical components generate.

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

2-35 for details.
