1-6 Chapter 1: Product introduction
8-Phase Power Design
The ASUS 8-Phase Power Design prolongs CPU lifespan and keeps the
system stable by preventing high power stress to the CPU and power supply
module. The design ensures high efciency operation to generate less heat
compared with conventional power solutions, thus achieving cool system
environment and making this motherboard ideal for overclocking.
Fanless Design and Heat-pipe
The ASUS fanless design allows multi-directional heat ow from major
thermal sources in the motherboard to lower overall system temperature,
resulting in quieter operation and longer system life. ASUS has devoted
special efforts to addressing the thermal issues across the motherboard,
and most notably in the following areas: CPU, power, VGA, Northbridge and
Southbridge. The heat pipe, heatsink, and strategic board layout were tailor
made to dissipate heat in the most efcient manner.
WiFi-AP Solo™ (Optional)
Why buy wireless AP off the store when you can have it on board? The essence of
wireless home network! WiFi-AP Solo™ turns the next generation ASUS M2N32-
SLI Deluxe motherboard into wireless access point or client without extra costs.
Bundled on the motherboard, WiFi-AP Solo™ can operate AP function even when
the PC sleeps, so the clients can still play LAN game, share printer, exchange les,
conect to the Internet, and make Skype phone calls. Digitalize your home with
WiFi-AP Solo™.
