1-1.1 Special Features of motherboard

CPU Thermal Throttling Technology
To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at high
workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter partially idle
mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 40
℃ to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset
value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool
down the processor. When at throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to
indicate it is in working.
CPU Smart Fan
It's never been a good idea to gain the performance of your system by sacrificing its acoustics.
CPU Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to control the noise level needed for
now-a-day's high performance computing system. The system will automatically increase the
fan speed when CPU operating loading is high, after the CPU is in normal operating condition,
the system will low down the fan speed for the silent operating environment. The system can
provide the much longer life cycle for both CPU and the system fans for game use and
business requirements.
CPU Vcore X-Shift
The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 8 stages for the precisely over-clocking of extra
demanding computing performance.
G.P.I Function
—(Green power indicator function)
The full name of G.P.I technology is Green Power Indicator technology, obviously
technology utilized to low power consumption. G.P.I is a technology with remarkable power
saving function.
DIY Clear
The CMOS Button is to facilitate the clear COMS process for power user overclocking
function. The user can easily clear or restore COMS settings by pressing down the button,
without taking trouble to remove the case and locate the jumper for clear CMOS.
WI-FI Technology
WIFI--Full name is wireless Fidelity. It has been used in notebook, mobile phone, PDA,
digital cameras and Mobile Terminals widely. With WIFI. We do not need to worry about the
speed and high spending when we are dialing long-distance calls, browsing web pages,
receiving and sending E-mails, loading music, delivering digital photos.
