As per post I didn’t like AI Nap. I doubt that integrated (in my case) video and audio made much difference and I clearly remember it didn’t make fans quieter.

My current build is Mini-ITX with Zotac motherboard so I don’t know how well current versions of Asus software work.

I'll just let you know that AI Nap is a pretty nice feature. It powers down the graphics and audio cards, puts the cpu and fans into a lower power state but keeps the network and hard drives active- great for uses like servers, long downloads, and quick remote access. All specialized functions, yes, but a great idea that I wish had more widespread support. Since I can’t see how old this post is… I’ll just let you know that AI Nap is a pretty nice feature.
