C.O.P. (CPU Overheating Protection):

ASUS C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the ASUS motherboard BIOS allows automatic resetting to the BIOS previous settings in case the system hands 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 reboot the system, and the BIOS automatically restores the previous value of the CPU parameters.

The CrashFree BIOS 2 feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the ASUS support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection feature eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip.

With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a floppy disk.

ASUS Instant Music Lite

Through this unique feature, the motherboard is conveniently designed to allow users to enjoy their favorite music, without the need to enter Windows. (The stickers on keyboard are separately purchased.)
