USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0

backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 2-21 and 2-29 for details.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

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