Innovative ASUS features

ASUS EZ Plug™

This patented ASUS technology is a 4-pin auxiliary +12V connector that is
designed to maintain the voltage integrity of your system. This plug
guarantees adequate supply of power to the motherboard and other
installed peripherals. See page 6-6 for illustration.

ASUS Two-slot thermal design

The motherboard is designed with two PCI Express x1 slots placed between
the PCI Express x16 slots allowing an increase in airflow between the two
PCI Express x16 graphics cards. This special design permits more room for
ventilation thus lowering the overall system temperature.

ASUS EZ Selector

The ASUS EZ selector card is an easy-to-use switch between SLI mode
(Dual Video Cards) and Normal mode (Single card). This promotes flexibility
for users who wants to use a single graphics card now and upgrade later to
SLI mode. See page 6-2 for details.

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. See details on page 4-5.

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
4-37 for details.

ASUS Multi-language BIOS

The multi-language BIOS allows you to select the language of your choice
from the available options. The localized BIOS menus allow you to configure
easier and faster. See page 4-15 for details.
