over current protection useless. MX3W with switching regulator onboard
support CPU over current protection, in conjunction with 3.3V/5V/12V power
supply provide the full line over current protection.
CPU and Housing Fan Monitoring This motherboard has one more "fan
monitoring" function to prevent system overheat. There are two fan connectors.
