Innovative ASUS features

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 allows users to restore corrupted BIOS data from a

USB flash disk containing the BIOS file. See page 4-5 for details.

ASUS Q-Fan technology

The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the

system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation. See page 4-32 for

details.

ASUS EZ Flash 2

EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply press the predefined

hotkey to launch the utility and update the BIOS without entering the OS. Update

your BIOS easily without preparing a bootable diskette or using an OS-based flash

utility. See page 4-7 for details.

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.
