ASUS Smart Thermal Solutions

ASUS provides two smart solutions to Slot 1 CPU thermal problems: the ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FAN and the ASUS P2T-Cable.

The ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FANis a CPU fan for a Pentium® II processor packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge (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 temperature, thus provides the best protection to your computer system.

The ASUS P2T-Cableor thermal sensor cable can be used for a Pentium® II processor packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge (SECC/SECC2) or a Celeron™ processor packaged in a Single Edge Processor Package (SEPP).

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.
