Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the Winbond ASIC 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.
Chassis intrusion detection
The motherboard supports chassis intrusion monitoring through the
Winbond ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is retained in CMOS for more
protection.
ASUS update
This utility allows you to update the motherboard BIOS through a user-
friendly interface. Connect to the Internet then to the ASUS FTP site
