1.3.2Innovative ASUS features

Fanless Design

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.

Stack Cool 2

The motherboard comes with the ASUS Stack Cool 2, an innovative fan-less and zero-noise thermal solution that provides supplementary cooling to the motherboard. Stack Cool 2 is a special layer underneath the motherboard that improves heat dissipation.

SATA-On-the-Go

Leveraging the Serial ATA II feature is the SATA-On-the-Go. This external port on the rear panel I/O provides smart setup, hot-plug and support for up to 16 devices with port-multiplier functions. See pages 2-21 for details.

AI NET2

The AI NET2 is a BIOS-based diagnostic tool that detects and reports Ethernet cable faults and shorts. With this utility, you can easily monitor the condition of the Ethernet cable(s) connected to the LAN (RJ-45) port(s). During the bootup process, AI NET2 immediately diagnoses the LAN cable(s) and reports shorts and faults up to 100 meters at 1 meter accuracy. See page 5-12 for details.

Precision Tweaker

This feature allows you to fine tune the CPU/memory/Northbridge voltage and gradually increase the memory Front Side Bus (FSB) and PCI Express frequency at 1MHz increment to achieve maximum system performance. See pages 4-19 and 4-20 for details.

AI NOS™ (Non-Delay Overclocking System)

ASUS Non-delay Overclocking System™ (NOS) is a technology that auto-detects the CPU loading and dynamically overclocks the CPU speed only when needed. See page 4-19 for details.
