ASUS Smart Thermal Solutions

(for motherboards with hardware monitor)

ASUS provides two smart solutions to Slot 1 CPU thermal problems: the ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FANand 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. Unlike 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 tempera- ture, thus provides the best protection to your computer system.
