USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0

specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the

12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is

backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 1-28 for details.

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 xure detection. The ASIC monitors

the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical

components. See page 2-29 for details.
