1.3.2 Value-added solutions Overclocking • adjustable CPU frequency multiple in BIOS using the ASUS JumperFree™ solution • C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) • adjustable FSB/DDR ratios • adjustable CPU VCORE , and DDR memory and AGP voltages • Stepless Frequency Selection (SFS) for fine-tuning system bus frequency from 100MHz up to 200MHz at 1MHz increments Concurrent PCI This feature allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master buses to the memory and processor. Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The system voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. Dual function power switch While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 seconds puts the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting. ACPI ready The Advanced Configuration power Interface (ACPI) provides more energy saving features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management (OSPM). Auto fan off The system fans power off automatically when the system is in sleep mode. This feature reduces both power consumption and system noise. Chassis intrusion detection The motherboard supports chassis intrusion monitoring through the ASUS ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is retained in CMOS for more protection.
