Sustainability

Keep your data center green

Data centers can consume huge amounts of electricity, raising environmental concerns. ASUS servers are designed to optimize both total cost of ownership (TCO) and total cost to the environment (TCE), including thermal design, power efficiency and advanced cooling solutions — reducing the impact of our products on the planet.

Optimized Thermal Design

Independent CPU and GPU airflow tunnels

Our servers features a streamlined design with dedicated CPU and GPU airflow tunnels for seriously efficient heat dissipation. This advanced design provides better cooling for both the GPU and CPU, enabling heat to be expelled into the surrounding ambient air for greater energy efficiency and overall savings on system power.
