CPU Thermal Protection
This motherboard implements special thermal protection circuits. When
temperature is higher than a predefined value, there will be warning through
application software such as the Hardware Monitor utility to notify the user. It is
automatically implemented by the BIOS and the Hardware Monitoring Utility, no
hardware installation is needed.

Battery-less Design
To preserve the earth, this motherboard implements the battery-less
motherboard design. There is no need to have a battery for RTC (real time
clock) and CMOS Setup as long as the ATX power cable is plugged in. In case
the AC power is shutdown or the power cord is removed by accident, the
CMOS Setup and system configuration can be restored from EEPROM, only
the system clock needs to be re-set to current date/time.
For the convenience of the end user, the MX6B EZ still ships with one Lithium
(CR-2032) battery. If you prefer to use a battery, you can still insert it into
battery socket. The RTC will still keep running even when the power cord is
removed.
