CORE

, and DDR memory and AGP voltages

Stepless Frequency Selection (SFS) for fine-tuning system bus

frequency from 100MHz up to 200MHz at 1MHz increments

Concurrent PCI

This feature allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master buses to the
memory and processor.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC to prevent
overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is
monitored for timely failure detection. The system voltage levels are
monitored to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.

Dual function power switch

While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 seconds
puts the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS
setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the
system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.

ACPI ready

The Advanced Configuration power Interface (ACPI) provides more energy
saving features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM).

Auto fan off

The system fans power off automatically when the system is in sleep
mode. This feature reduces both power consumption and system noise.

Chassis intrusion detection

The motherboard supports chassis intrusion monitoring through the ASUS
ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is retained in CMOS for more protection.
