AMD Cool'n'Quiet Technology
TM
The AMD Cool'n'Quiet technology allows the system to detect the
CPU's tasks and utilization status. When the CPU's task slows down,
the system effectively lowers power consumption by lowering its
CPU speed and voltage, subsequently decreasing its noise level.
CPU Overheat Protection
• Monitors CPU temperature during system boot-up
• Supports shutdown temperature - automatic shutdown upon
system overheat
CMOS Reloaded
CMOS Reloaded is a technology that allows storing multiple user-
defined BIOS settings by using the BIOS utility to save, load and
name the settings. This is especially useful to overclockers who
require saving a variety of overclocked settings and being able to
conveniently switch between these settings simultaneously.
S/PDIF
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital
audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an
analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal from
degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually
found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio
processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board sends
surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and
speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.
6-channel Audio
The audio jacks at the rear panel will support 6-channel audio only
when the audio utility is configured to support this function. The mic-
in at the rear will be disabled. Use the front audio's mic-in jack.
