peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as camcorders, VCRs, printers,
TVs, and digital cameras.
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.
Additional BIOS Features:
Serial ATA II and SATA-On-The-Go
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through the JMicron
Serial ATA interfaces. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s 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. Leveraging these Serial ATA II 3Gb/s
features is the SATA-On-The-Go. This external port on the rear panel I/O provides
smart setup, hot-plug and support for up to 16 devices with port-multiplier functions.
Q-Fan technology
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the CPU fan speeds according to the
system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.
MyLogo
This feature allows you to personalize and add style to your system with
customisable boot logos.
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the BIOS
default settings in case the system hangs due to over clocking. When the system
hangs due to over clocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis
and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and the BIOS
automatically restores the CPU default setting for each parameter.
