“Ultimate COOL!” Thermal Solutions
CeraM!X Heatsink Coating Technology
Innovative ceramics actively conducts heat away from the system. It replaces traditional 
antioxidants to dissipate heat better with its microscopic irregular surface and enlarged area. 
Better cooling leads to overall improvement in system stability.
DO NOT uninstall the heatsink module by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and 
affect the heat dissipation performance.
ASUS Fan Xpert
ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows you to adjust both the CPU and chassis fan speeds 
according to different ambient temperatures caused by different climate conditions in different 
geographic regions and your PC’s loading. The built-in variety of useful profiles offer flexible 
controls of fan speed to achieve a quiet and cool environment. Refer to page 4-4 for details.
