Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features

Fanless Design

The ASUS fanless design allows multi-directional heat flow from major

thermal sources in the motherboard to lower overall system temperature,

resulting in quieter operation and longer system life. ASUS has devoted

special efforts to address the thermal issues across the motherboard, and

most notably in the following areas: CPU, power, VGA, Northbridge and

Southbridge.

ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support

CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection

eliminates the need to buy a replacement BIOS chip. See page 2-6 for

details.

ASUS EZ Flash

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. See page 2-3 for details.

High Definition Audio

The onboard 6-channel High Definition audio CODEC enables high-quality

Realtek ALC883 audio CODEC, which automatically detects and identifies

what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks and notifies

users of inappropriate connection.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting 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.

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 2-35 for

details.
