ASUS Unveiled P5Q Series w EPU-Six Engine

Catering to users who require a motherboard that provides exceptionalperformance and ultimate power savings, ASUS, worldwide leader in motherboardproduction, has announced the new ASUS P5Q series of motherboards; which featurethe new ASUS EPU-Six Engine. This new version of the EPU is able to detectcurrent PC loadings in real time and automatically moderate the power supply forcomplete system level power savings. With automatic power management forcomponents, the EPU-Six Engine provides the most appropriate power usage viaintelligent acceleration and overclocking – helping users achieve the ultimatein energy savings.

Save More with New EPU-Six Engine
75% of the time, the PC is utilized in everyday computing tasks that don’trequire the maximum amount of power. However, the components will continueconsuming power unconsciously – resulting in power loss. This power loss willoccur in day to day operations and is invisible – adding up quickly in the longrun. It is thus vital for users to be aware of this “hidden” power loss. TheASUS EPU-Six Engine guards against this power loss through intelligent andautomatic monitoring and moderation of the power supply – lowering heat andproviding a exceptional 96% power efficiency (the higher the power efficiency,the more energy that is saved)! With the EPU-Six Engine, savings of up to almosta household’s monthly electrical bill can be attained! It is able to achievethis by focusing on six major components: namely the CPU, VGA card, memory,chipset, Hard drives and CPU cooler/system fan.

CPU, Memory and Chipset Power Savings
Equipped with a database containing all of the Intel CPU profiles, the EPU-SixEngine intelligently identifies and selects the correct CPU profile, andcalibrates the best possible settings – ensuring the best possible powermanagement. In terms of the Chipset and Memory, the EPU-Six Engine provides upto 96% enhanced power efficiency – thereby improving thermal capabilities, whichleads to better component quality and lifespans. This in turn provides userswith a more stable system and higher O.C capabilities.

Reduced VGA, Hard disk and Fan Power Consumption
VGA graphics cards normally utilize more power than they should. A good examplewould be when the user is surfing on the Internet. The VGA card would beutilizing its full power unconsciously without the EPU-Six Engine. Supportingthe most popular and latest graphics cards*, the EPU-Six Engine is able toautomatically detect system loading, and adjust the VGA card’s voltage andfrequency – saving up to 37% VGA power during everyday computing. The EPU-SixEngine also cleverly monitors the Harddisk and Fans – reducing power wastagespent when there is no data access during idle modes. This helps to reduce thehard drive and fan noises for quieter acoustics too!

*Energy Saving performance might vary with different graphics solutions.

With power savings from all six major components while the PC during everydaycomputing, the ASUS EPU-Six Engine is the ultimate method in providing totalsystem level power savings.

The P5Q energy conserving series of motherboards consists of the P5Q Deluxe,P5Q-E, P5QC, P5Q PRO and the P5Q, and will be available in the second quarter ofthis year. Watch out for even more energy saving motherboard solutions from ASUSin time to come.
