Fanless Design 
Provide a cool environment without all the baggage
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.
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.
The heat sinks and strategic board layout are tailor made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.
ASUS Q-Fan 2
ASUS
Q-Fan2 technology intelligently adjusts both CPU fan and chassis fan
speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient
operation.
