Reactive cooling
To ensure stable performance, ASUS Mini PN51 has dedicated thermal monitoring for the SSD. It also has numerous preset cooling policies to cater to a diverse variety of scenarios.
Whole-system cooling:
Fan speed is automatically adjusted according to the M.2 SSD temperature, achieving better heat dissipation. With previously models, only the CPU temperature was monitored.
Multiple operating modes:
Three thermal policies are offered in the BIOS, so you’re free to choose the one that best suits the usage situation.
Energy savings
Reduce environmental impact while lowering operating costs
