 Up to 20°C(36°F) Cooler - Stack Cool 2 Effective Fanless Heat Dissipation at 0dB Stack
Cool 2 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.
|
Fanless Design - Heat Pipe Zero failure
Support side-flow fan or passive cooler 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.
