neighboring speakers and reverberations. It also uses advanced
de-reverberation techniques to reduce echo and minimize its effect on
the speech engine.
Noise Filter
This
feature detects repetitive and stationary noises like computer fans,
air conditioners, and other background noises then eliminates it in the
incoming audio stream while recording. |
Advanced Thermal Design
ASUS
has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across the
motherboard, and most notably the areas that reside the CPU, power,
Northbridge and Southbridge.
Stack Cool 2
Stack
Cool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution offered
exclusively by ASUS. It effectively transfers heat generated by the
critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB
(printed circuit board) for effective heat dissipation.
8 Phase Power Design 
ASUS
8-Phase Power Design keeps CPU and power module away from suffering
risk of high power stress, which makes CPU lifetime much longer and
system more stable. Furthermore, It provides high efficiency operation
to generate less heat than conventional power solutions and
consequently achieve cool system environment. With this strong power
pump, this motherboard is made for overclocking.
 Fanless Design: Heat-pipe Thermal solution
Cooling
fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise and
malfunction likelyhood. ASUS Motherboard's fansless concept is
specifically created to provide a cool environment without all the
baggage.
The heat pipe, heat sinks and strategic board layout were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.
