Fanless Design
Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise and
malfunction likelyhood. 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,
Northbridge and Southbridge. The heat sinks and strategic board layout
were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.
AI NET 2
AI NET 2 is a BIOS-based diagnostic tool that detects and reports Ethernet
cable faults and shorts. With this utility, you can easily monitor the
condition of the Ethernet cable(s) connected to the Marvell LAN (RJ-45)
port. During the bootup process, AI NET 2 immediately diagnoses the LAN
cable and reports shorts and faults up to 100 meters at 1 meter accuracy.
