►TUF Thermal ArmorNewly Designed Advanced Integrated Thermal Dissipation System – The worlds most advanced integrated motherboard cooling solution
CONFIDENTIAL
Thermal Armor (1/5)
Exceptional VRM Area Cooling Solution
Generally, temperature outside of the chassis is cooler than the inside.
Cold Air Intake!
Asst. I/O Fan draws cold air from outside the chassis into VRM area and heatsink assembly for superior cooling.
I/O shield with honeycomb vent design allows for cool air pass-through intake for superior airflow to aid in dissipation

Thermal Armor (2/5)
Shunt Design
Via the special shunt design, cold air goes through the optimally designed heatsink and dissipates heat quickly and effectively.
Heatsink brings heat up to the surface form critical components.
Directs Cool Air to the Right Place!

►TUF Thermal RadarThe Most Advanced Realtime Temperature Monitoring Solution On A Motherboard with Corrective Auto Adjustment Abilities
CONFIDENTIAL
TUF Thermal Radar
Fan Overtime
A fail safe and cautious technology already featured in a number of consumer electronics. Fan overtime allows the fans to continue working for a few minutes after the device has been powered down, allowing the remaining heat present in the environment or being produced by the components to be dissipated. This helps to ensure and improve overall lifespan and functionality of the product.
