1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features

Fanless Design

The ASUS fanless design allows multi‑directional heat flow from major

thermal sources in the motherboard to lower overall system temperature,

resulting in quieter operation and longer system life.

Precision Tweaker

This feature allows you to fine‑tune the CPU/memory voltage and gradually

increase the Front Side Bus (FSB) and PCI Express frequency to achieve

maximum system performance. See pages 4-20 to 4-22 for details.

CrashFree BIOS

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD

in case the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the

need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 4-5 for details.

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 pages 4-33 for details.

ASUS MyLogo™

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

add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See page 5-8 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 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 pages 4-33 and 4-34 for details.
