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 W83793G chip to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The chip monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. Intel® IOAT2 Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (IOAT) is an integrated server platform I/O solution that addresses all segments of the server I/O bottleneck problem using TCP/IP without requiring any modification of existing or future applications. Intel® IOAT is a system-wide solution that increases CPU efficiency and delivers data to/from applications faster than current server platforms. High Power Efficiency Compared with the non-green design platform, ASUS's new green motherboard design helps improve power efficiency to 90%. The motherboard, with less power comsumption loss, saves you more watts and more money. 1.4.2 Innovative ASUS features 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. 1- Chapter 1: Product introduction
