ASUS Quiet
Thermal Solution |
ASUS Fanless
Design -
Heat-pipe
solution
The Heat Pipe
design
effectively
directs the heat
generated by the
chipsets to the
heatsink near
the back IO
ports, where it
can be carried
away by existing
airflow from CPU
fan or bundled
optional fan.
The purpose of
the innovative
heat pipe design
on this
motherboard is
that the
groundbreaking
fanless design
does not have
lifetime
problems as a
chipset fan
does.
Furthermore, it
provides options
for users to
install
side-flow fan or
passive cooler.
The Heat Pipe
design is the
most reliable
fanless thermal
solution to
date.
