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.
