ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution

ASUS Fan Xpert 2 - featuring Fan Auto Tuning mode for the Ultimate

Cool and Quiet

Hardware-level ASUS Fan Xpert 2 provides the most customizable settings for an even

cooler and quieter computing environment. Upgraded with the Fan Auto Tuning mode, it

enables tailored fan speed settings for each CPU and chassis fan, with exclusive automatic

fan speed detection, which scans each fan to run at speciﬁc settings based on different

criteria, achieving the best balance of cooling performance and low noise. Fan Xpert 2 also

includes an RPM Fixed Mode for users who wish to reduce noise levels to near 0dB with

highly speciﬁc fan speed control. It reacts to system loads for greater control.

ASUS Fanless Design—Heat-pipe solution

The ASUS heat-pipe features 0-dB thermal solution that offers you a noiseless PC

environment. Not only the beautiful shape upgrades the visual enjoyment for motherboard

users, but also the heat-pipe design lowers the temperature of the chipset and power phase

area through high efﬁcient heat-exchange. Combined with usability and aesthetics, the ASUS

heat-pipe gives you an extremely silent and cooling experience with its elegant appearance.

DO NOT uninstall the heat-pipe by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and affect the

heat dissipation performance.
