ASUS O.C. Profile
The motherboard features the ASUS O.C. Profile that allows users to
conveniently store or load multiple BIOS settings. The BIOS settings can be
stored in the CMOS or a separate file, giving users freedom to share and
distribute their favorite settings.
ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 allows users to restore corrupted BIOS data
from a USB flash disk containing the BIOS file.
ASUS EZ Flash 2
EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply launch this tool and
update BIOS using a USB flash disk without entering the OS. You can update
your BIOS in a few clicks without preparing an additional floppy diskette or
using an OS-based flash utility.
ASUS EPU
System Level Energy Saving
The new ASUS EPU - the world's first power saving engine, has been upgraded to
a new 6 engine version, which provides total system power savings by detecting
current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. With auto
phase switching for components (which includes the CPU, VGA card, memory,
chipset, hard drives and CPU cooler/system fans), the EPU automatically provides
the most appropriate power usage via intelligent acceleration and overclocking
- helping save power and money.
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to open the
system chassis to clear CMOS data. Simply reboot the system, and the BIOS
automatically restores the CPU default settings for each parameter.
Due to the chipset behavior, AC power off is required before using C.P.R.
