ASUS Technology has recently launched its latest motherboard, which features several digital home functions, support for Intel’s Core2 Extreme and Core2 Duo processors and ATI CrossFire graphics - the P5W DH Deluxe. Company representatives said in several statements that this ‘deluxe motherboard’ offers multimedia entertainment, wireless networking, data protection, easy access and management of various functions without being restricted by the computer desk.
A new feature – the EZ-Backup – enables users to back up hard drive data without the need of complicated software configurations.
Consequently, the user can utilize the SATA2 technology to arrange RAID 1 (default) or RAID 0 systems without BIOS or any other setup process.
Moreover, the new motherboard is said to deliver steadier power supply for the CPU, therefore generating less heat than conventional power solutions and providing a cool computing environment for stable performance and higher overclocking margin. Also, it seems it can reduce the input ripple current and output ripple voltage, diminishing the risk of high power stress effects of the CPU and power modules.
Another feature - WiFi AP Solo - offers an access point and wireless client modes in order to increase the versatility of the PC.
Even when the system is on stand-by, the AP mode continues to connect devise in the WLAN for games, Internet access and printer functions sharing. WiFi-AP Solo is an onboard feature, which means users can save the extra cost for a standalone AP.
ASUS delivers a DH Remote used to turn the computer on and off, activate/ suspend mode and, more important, to access and manage the various digital home features offered by the P5W DH Deluxe. But the remote also delivers traditional functions, such as volume control, play, pause, fast forward and rewind.
As every manufacturer tries to eliminate the need for fans, ASUS developed a fan-less concept in order to provide a cool environment without all the items. As a result, the heat pipe, heat sinks and strategic board layout were developed to dissipate heat efficiently.
The cooling solution is called Stack Cool 2 and it is, in fact, a fan-less and zero-noise ASUS innovation, which is meant to transfer heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for heat dissipation without the noise made by high-speed fan rotation.
