ASUS Special Features:
GameFace

Ultimate system protection
ASUS's SmartDoctorTM prevents damage to your system and graphics card by monitoring temperature, fan speed and AGP power level.
Efficient cooling system
Efficient cooling is the key to reliability. With copper heat-pipe, a huge copper heatsink, and twin fan design, the ASUS RADEON 9800XT keeps your system cool even at fast speeds.
Smart Cooling technology for noiseless life
This advanced technology intelligently lowers fan speed when VPU temperature decreases from lighter system load, ensuring a quiet computing environment.
