1-4 Chapter 1: Product IntroductionASUS EPU-6 EngineThe new ASUS EPU—the world’s first power saving engine, has beenupgraded to a new 6 engine version, which provides total system powersavings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating powerin real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes theCPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives and CPU cooler / systemfans), the EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage viaintelligent acceleration and overclocking - helping save power and money.See page 4-23 for details.AI NapWith AI Nap, the system can continue running at minimum power and noisewhen you are temporarily away. To wake the system and return to the OSenvironment, simply click the mouse or press a key. See page 4-20 fordetails.ASUS Quiet Thermal SolutionASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes system more stable and enhances theoverclocking capability.Fanless Design - Stack Cool 2ASUS Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution that lowersthe temperature of critical heat generating components. The motherboarduses a special design on the printed circuit board (PCB) to dissipate heatthese critical components generate.Wind-Flow Heat-pipe solutionEnjoy a super cool and quiet PC environment with the innovative Wind FlowThermal Design. With specifically-engineered copper pipes, this thermaldesign effectively manages the airflow of the CPU fan and directs systemheat away from the PC—resulting in efficient heat dissipation to lower overallsystem temperature and prolong system lifespans.DO NOT uninstall the heat-pipe by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing andaffect the heat dissipation performance.
