As the clock of CPU keeps rocketing higher and higher, it inevitably brings higher heat and system
temperature in a relative way. The way we deal with this heat problem, however, is to spare no
effort to add one fan after another to protect our pampered system, expecting these fans could cool
down our machine as much as they could.
But at the same time, we believe that same users are affected terribly by the irritating noises of these fans while working with their PC.
As a matter of fact, we do not have to get our fans running at such a high speed in most cases; on the contrary, we discovered that
having your fans running at appropriate time
and speed not only reduces the noise, but
also consumes the least power the system
needs, so as to prevent over-wasting of
energy resource.
Today, AOpen Motherboard is honored to
bring you a new overall solution, SilentTek, to
make your system quiet. To collocate with
hardware circuit, BIOS and the utility under
Windows, SilentTek combined
“Hardware-Status Monitoring”, “Overheat
Warning” and “Fan Speed Control” with
user-friendly interfaces to provide you a
perfect balance among noises, system
performance and stability.
