Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system
damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM
and failure. All the fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.

•

mode. This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is
an important feature to implement silent PC systems.

•

Remote Ring On (requires modem): This allows a computer with this
motherboard to be turned on remotely through an internal or external modem.
With this feature, users can access their computer from anywhere in the world!
