OC Design: ASUS Pro Clock II Technology Prime X299-Deluxe II includes a dedicated base-clock (BCLK) generator that extends CPU and memory overclocking margins. This custom solution works in tandem with the TPU to enhance voltage and BCLK overclocking control providing the flexibility to extract every ounce of performance from the  Intel® Core X-series(6-core above) processors. Optimized Thermal and Power Design: Enhanced Power Delivery Higher power requirements are balanced by beefier heatsinks that carefully balance mass and surface area to maximize thermal dissipation. With a VRM-heatsink array and heatpipe positioned in the path of maximum airflow within the chassis Prime X299-Deluxe II ensures optimal cooling and system stability for Intel s latest Core X-series processors. Dual ProCool Connectors PRIME X299-DELUXE II links to the PSU with dual eight-pin connectors that pass 12V power directly to the processor. These jacks are based on our ProCool design which uses solid pins that can handle more current than conventional connectors with hollow pins. M.2 Thermal Design: Keep your SSD chilled -    Ultra-efficient 22110 heatsink to reduce M.2 SSD temperatures by up to 20°C — and that means optimal storage performance and improved SSD longevity. -    Use onboard  thermal sensor that  sense temperature of  M.2 SSD to adjust M.2_FAN activity. -    Anti-drop screws minimize risk of losses during heatsink removal Fan Xpert 4 All 3 or 4-pin Fan Auto Detection: Total 7 Fan headers for total solution Smart Fan IC Protection: Prevents overcurrents and excessive temperatures to prolong IC lifespan All Fan Support extreme quiet mode AIO Pump and Water Pump + Fan: A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-controlled water-cooling setups. Water Pump+ fan supply over 3A to high-performance PWM or DC Water pumps.
