ASUS Smart Thermal Solutions

(only with optional hardware monitor)

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. Un-

like 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.

ASUS P2T-Cable

The optional ASUS P2T-Cable can be
used for a Pentium

®

III/II processor pack-

aged in an SECC2/SECC, or a Celeron™
processor packaged in an SEPP.

NOTE: The ASUS P2T-Cable can
only be used in a Slot 1 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 Intel boxed processor heatsink with fan (middle) or to either the
upper or lower edge of the Celeron™ heatsink (right), as indicated.
