ASUS EPU

System Level Energy Saving

The new ASUS EPU—the world’s first power saving engine, has been upgraded to a new 6 engine version, which provides total system power savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes the CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives and CPU cooler / system fans), the EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via intelligent acceleration and overclocking—helping save power and money. Refer to page 4-6 for details.

ASUS Quiet Thermal Solutions

ASUS Quiet Thermal solutions make the system more stable and enhances the overclocking capability.

ASUS Fanless Design—Heat-sink solution

The heat sink design effectively directs the chipsets’ generated heat to the heatsink near the back I/O ports, where the generated heat is carried away by the existing airflow from the CPU fan. This innovative and groundbreaking design effectively lowers the system temperature by 10˚C, prevents any problems that are typical to standard chipsets, and allows you to install a side-flow fan or passive cooler. The heat sink design provides you with the most reliable fanless thermal solution.

Up to 20ºC (36ºF) Cooler—Stack Cool 3

Effective Fanless Heat Dissipation at 0dB

Stack Cool 3 is a fanless cooling solution offered exclusively by ASUS. It effectively and noiselessly transfers heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for effective heat dissipation— making temperatures cooler by up to 20˚C.

Fan Xpert

Active Quiet & Cool

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. Refer to page 4-5 for details.
