Fanless Design - Heatsink solution
Provides a cool environment without all the baggage
Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise and
malfunction likelihood. ASUS Motherboard's fansless concept is specifically
created to provide a cool environment without all the baggage.
ASUS has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across the
motherboard, and most notably the areas that reside the CPU, power, VGA,
and chipsets. The heat sinks were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most
efficient manner.
Optional Fan (for Water-Cooling or Passive-Cooling only)
The optional fan is specifically designed to provide sufficient airflow over
the chipset area when water-cooling or passive-cooling is utilized, ensuring
effective heat dissipation for the entire system. See page 2-36 for details.
