Suggestions will give the user information on manag- ing their limited resources more efficiently.
•Temperature Monitoring and Alert: CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC to prevent system overheat and system damage.
•Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable voltage to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper system configuration and management.
•Chassis Intrusion Detection: Supports
