Cooling
Cooler by design
VRM heatsinks and thermal pads
Two massive VRM heatsinks and essential thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
4-Pin PWM/DC fan
Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
AIO Pump header
A dedicated PWM/DC header supports self-contained water-cooling setups.
Multiple temperature sources
Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ lets you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
Flexible M.2 heatsink
The Flexible M.2 heatsink takes care of either of the two M.2 slots, preventing throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during extended transfers.
Passive chipset heatsink
An aluminum passive chipset heatsink ensures optimal cooling and stable performance. It is more durable and longer-lasting than heatsinks with fans, which can be vulnerable to the buildup of dust and debris.
Smart protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and excess current.
