8-channel high definition audio

Onboard is the Realtek

ALC882 High Definition Audio 8-channel audio

CODEC. This CODEC is fully-compliant with Intel

High Definition Audio

standard (192 KHz, 24-bit audio). With the CODEC, 8-channel audio ports,
and S/PDIF interfaces, you can connect your computer to home theater
decoders to produce crystal-clear digital audio.

The Realtek

ALC882 CODEC comes with a software application that

features jack detection to monitor the plugging status of each jack,
impedance sensing to determine audio device classes, and pre-defined
equalization for various audio devices. See pages 2-22, 2-23, and 5-12 for
details.

S/PDIF digital sound ready

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the coaxial and
optical S/PDIF Out ports on the rear panel. The S/PDIF technology turns your
computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to
powerful audio and speaker systems. See pages 2-23 for details.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is
backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 2-23 and 2-28 for details.

Gigabit LAN solution

The motherboard comes with a PCI Express Gigabit LAN controller to
provide a total solution for your networking needs. The Gigabit LAN
controller uses the PCI Express segment to provide faster data bandwidth.
See pages 2-22, and 5-11 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. See page 4-36 for details.
