AGP 8X support
The AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) VGA interface specification enhances graphics
performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s.
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 1-27 and page 1-32 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 2-28 for
details.
