 Asus Leader in Motherboard
Innovations
2004 First to introduce Stack Cool Technology which use the extra 4 layers PCB to
improve the system thermal
2005 First to introduce 8-Phase Power Design Technology, and ASUS has become
The King of motherboard power design ever since
Rennovate Stack Cool to Stack Cool 2,
help with the thermal
No.1
2 enlarge the copper area on the PCB to

2006
1st Motherboard to introduce AI Gear to intelligently adjust CPU Frequency
and vCore by different loading
2007 Introduce EPU microchip, the 1st energy saving processor
Introduce Q-Shield, being the first to provide 4X better EMI/ESD protection

2008 1st to introduct True 16-Phase Power Design Technology, which again set the
benchmark in the industry's power phase design
Introduce HE 95 Technology, the 1st to adopt 2oz Copper PCB materials on
motherboard high efficiency design [P5E64 WS Evo]
Rennovate EPU with system level power saving management, and enhance
the power efficiency to 96% (Industry average 85%)
2009 1st to introduce TurboV,
TurboV the easy real-time O.C. utility which breaks OC
bottleneck and can push the O.C. to the limit
1st to introduce the touch-n-boost Turbo Key,
Key which can instantly boost
performance up to 5%

What is ripple voltage

A good power phase

design allows phases to
operate smoothly and
provides the lowest
ripple voltage power
supply to CPU

MB power The lower ripple

voltage, the more
system stable power system
