ASUS 8-Phase Power Design
Longer Life, & Higher Efficiency!
With power efficiency so important to operating temperatures, ASUS 8-phase
VRM design leads the industry with its 96% power efficiency. High quality power
components such as low RDS (on) MOSFETs for minimum switching loss & lower
temperatures, Ferrite core chokes with lower hysteresis loss, and high quality
Japanese-made conductive polymer capacitors all add up to ensure longer
component life and lower power loss - creating more energy efficiency.
Fan Xpert
“ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows users to adjust both the CPU and chassis fan
speed according to different ambient temperature , which is caused by different
climate conditions in different geographic regions and system loading.Built-in
variety of useful profiles offer flexible controls of fan speed to achieve a quiet and
cool environment.”
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.
ASUS Crystal Sound
This feature can enhance speech-centric applications like Skype, online game,
video conference and recording.
