ASUS Smart Thermal Solutions
ASUS provides two smart solutions to Slot 1 CPU thermal problems: the ASUS
Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FAN and the ASUS P2T-Cable.
The ASUS Smart Fan or ASUS S-P2FAN is a CPU fan for a Pentium
®
II processor
packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge (SECC). Unlike other CPU thermal
solutions, the ASUS S-P2FAN has an integrated thermal sensor located near the
center of the CPU heat source. The sensor is optimized by ASUS to give the most
accurate reading of the CPU temperature, thus provides the best protection to your
computer system.
The ASUS P2T-Cable or thermal sensor cable can be used for a Pentium
®
II proces-
sor packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge (SECC/SECC2) or a Celeron™
processor packaged in a Single Edge Processor Package (SEPP).
To use the ASUS S-P2FAN: See 2. Attach the Heatsink on the preceding page for
the relevant procedures. Note that the S-P2FAN comes with a rock arm design for
easy FAN/CPU installation.
To use the ASUS P2T-Cable:
1. Simply peel off the tab from the sensor and then stick the sensor to the lower
edge of the Intel boxed processor heatsink with fan or to the upper edge of the
Celeron™ heatsink, as indicated in the pictures below.
