Stack Cool
Cooler Overclocking and Quieter Operation!
Heat causes instability and shortens system lifecycle, and motherboard power circuitry is a major thermal source. The patented Stack Cool™technology utilizes a mini PCB stacked against the main PCB to conduct heat away from power components, resulting in a 10oCelsius reduction. And voila! Cooler overclocking, quieter fan operation, greater stability and longer system life without you doing a thing.
WiFi-g onboard (optional)
Wireless setup made affordable and easy!
WEP? SSID? Building a home WLAN used to be a hassle with confusing acronyms and cryptic menus. With WiFi-g™and its one-touch setup wizard, high-speed wireless network is just a few clicks away. WiFi-g™serves as the access point of your network or if you already have an access point, it is also a wireless adapter for PCs to access existing WLAN.
