Chapter 1
Fanless Design–Heat-pipe
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.
DO NOT uninstall the heat-pipe by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and affect the
heat dissipation performance.
