Asus special features
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to open the case to clear CMOS data. Simply restart the system and the BIOS will automatically restore the CPU default setting for each parameter.

Multi-language BIOS
ASUS provides friendly localized BIOS setup menu to help you configure your system as easy as possible.

Q-Fan Technology
ASUS Q-Fan technology intelligently adjusts fan speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient operation.

ASUS® EZ Flash
With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS before entering operating system. No more DOS-based flash utility and bootable diskette required.

ASUS POST Reporter
During the computer POST (Power-On Self-Test), ASUS POST Reporter provides friendly voice warnings through internal or external speaker, clearly explaining system errors for quick and easy optimization. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software allows uses to add customized system voice warnings and multi-language support.

AGP Warning LED
ASUS has designed into this motherboard an AGP Warning LED. The AGP Warning LED automatically stops you from turning on your system with incompatible voltage AGP (3.3V) cards, and protects from permanently damaging your motherboard.
