EVGA X299 FTW - K (142-SX-E297)
Page 142. After the system boots, it will display the temperature in Celsius.
This temperature is specifically for the CPU socket, which will typically read
slightly higher than a given CPU core. To read this temp in Fahrenheit, take the
value in Celsius, multiply by 9/5 (or 1.8) and add 32.
20. USB 3.0 Headers
The USB3.0 headers are used to connect additional USB interface plugs to the
motherboard; these headers are most often used to connect the motherboard to
the chassis to enable the USB3.0 ports on the chassis. These will function the
same as the USB3 ports found on the motherboard's hardwired I/O hub, but
these can be used to attach to front panel USB, auxiliary ports that mount in the
card slots, and also some devices that directly connect to the header.
USB 3.0 standard is 900ma @ 5V for unpowered devices. If your USB device
requires more power than this, it is recommended to attach a powered USB
Hub.
USB 3.1 Type-A (found on the I/O Hub) shares the power limit of USB 3.0 at
900ma @ 5V. Whereas USB 3.1 Type-C (also found on the IO Hub) has a
power limit of 3000ma (3A) @ 5V.
21. USB 2.0 Headers
The USB2.0 header is used to connect additional USB interface plugs to the
motherboard; these headers are most often used to connect the motherboard to
the chassis to enable the USB2.0 ports on the chassis. These will function the
same as the USB2 ports found on the motherboard's hardwired I/O hub, but
these can be used to attach to front panel USB, auxiliary ports that mount in the
card slots, and also some devices that directly connect to the header.
USB 2.0 standard is 500ma @ 5V per port (header total is 1000ma) for
unpowered devices. If your USB device requires more power than this, it is
recommended to attach a powered USB Hub.
22. VROC Header
VROC stands for Virtual RAID On CPU, the VROC headers works in
conjunction with the upcoming VROC cards. VROC cards are 4 device M.2
Key-M cards for PCI-E that allow RAID functions on the card. The Header is
for an Intel hardware key that will unlock advanced RAID functions, which in
VROC's case is anything other than RAID0.
Important note, as of the time this manual was written, VROC will work with
many SSD's but is only bootable with Intel SSD's. Also VROC is only
compatible with Skylake-X CPUs
