Asus Quiet Thermal Solution - Asus P6TD - Deluxe Motherboard - ATX User Manual

ASUS EPU-6 Engine
The new ASUS EPU—the world's first power saving engine, has been
upgraded to a new 6 engine version, which provides total system power
savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power
in real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes the
CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives and CPU cooler / system
fans), the EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via
intelligent acceleration and overclocking - helping save power and money.
See page 4-22 for details.
AI Nap
With AI Nap, the system can continue running at minimum power and noise
when you are temporarily away. To wake the system and return to the OS
environment, simply click the mouse or press a key. See page 4-19 for
details.

ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution

ASUS Quiet Thermal solution makes system more stable and enhances the
overclocking capability.
Up to 20ºC (36ºF) Cooler—Stack Cool 3+
Effective Fanless Heat Dissipation at 0dB
Stack Cool 3+ 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
20ºC.
Wind-Flow Heat-pipe solution
Enjoy a super cool and quiet PC environment with the innovative Wind Flow
Thermal Design. With specifically-engineered copper pipes, this thermal
design effectively manages the airflow of the CPU fan and directs system
heat away from the PC—resulting in efficient heat dissipation to lower overall
system temperature and prolong system lifespans.
DO NOT uninstall the heat-pipe by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and
affect the heat dissipation performance.
