In addition, Asus claims to have ensured low operating temperatures by means of more massive heat sinks with twice the volume compared to traditional designs, while a 135 mm fan directs the entire airflow axially. The power supply unit can be operated without a fan up to a load of 500 watts and up to a load of 700 watts with a fan speed of 12 to 15 percent, while the fan only starts to run above 700 watts.
