1.4.2 Innovative ASUS features

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 ROM chip.

ASUS Smart Fan technology

The ASUS Smart Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according

to the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.

ASUS MyLogo2™

This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and

add style to your system with customizable boot logos.

The LSIS AS1068 is an eight-port, 3.0 Gbit/s SAS/SATA controller that is

compliant with the Fusion-MPT™ architecture, and supports the Integrated

RAID™ solution.

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.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond

hardware monitor) 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.
