  Heat Pipe
The Heat Pipe design effectively directs the heat generated by the chipsets - where it can be carried away by existing airflows from the CPU or chassis fan. This innovative and groundbreaking fanless heat pipe design effectively lowers temperatures without having lifetime problems that a normal chipset fan has. Furthermore, it provides options for users to install side-flow fans or a passive cooler. This Heat Pipe design is the most reliable fanless thermal solution to date.
