PCIe 3.0 The motherboard supports the latest PCIe 3.0 device, which doubles the delivered bandwidth of PCIe 2.0. This enhances system performance while still providing backward compatibility to PCIe 2.0. Intel® I210AT LAN Solution The motherboard comes with two Gigabit LAN controllers and ports which provide a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Intel® I210AT Gigabit LAN controllers use the PCI Express interface and could achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth. Broadcom 57840S/57811S 10 GbE Solution The motherboard comes with Broadcom 10GbE controller and SFP+ connectors which provides a complete 10GbE solution for your networking requirements. Broadcom 10GbE controller is performanced focused and optimized for high throughput, low latency and CPU utilization, thus it is the best choice for datacenter, enterprise, service provider, and so on. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power requirement. Serial ATA II technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through the Serial ATA interface and Intel® C600 chipset. The Serial ATA II specification provides twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new features, including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm, and Hot Swap. Serial ATA allows thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage requirements. Serial ATA III technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA III technology through the Serial ATA interface and Intel® C600 chipset, delivering up to 6Gb/s data transfer rates. Additionally, get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems. 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 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.
