USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 speciﬁcation, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a faster 480Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 1-24, 1-27, 1-30 and 2-21 for details.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the Winbond Super I/O to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotation per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The Winbond Super I/O monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.

1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features

CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD in case the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See details on page 2-6.

ASUS Q-Fan technology

The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the CPU fan speed according to the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efﬁcient operation. See page 2-30 for details.

ASUS MyLogo™

This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See page 2-33 for details.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic restore to the BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and the BIOS automatically restores the CPU default setting for each parameter.
