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 system voltage
levels are monitored to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.
ACPI ready
The Advanced Configuration power Interface (ACPI) provides more energy
saving features for operating systems that support OS Directed Power
Management (OSPM).
Chassis intrusion detection
The motherboard supports chassis intrusion monitoring through the Winbond
ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is retained in CMOS for more protection.

interface. Connect to the Internet then to the ASUS FTP site nearest you to
