PCI Express™ interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that
speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial interconnections
between devices and allows higher clock speeds by carrying data in packets. This high
speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI specifications.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interface and the
Intel® ICH7 chipset. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with
lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate.
S/PDIF digital sound ready
The motherboard supports the S/PDIF Out function through the S/PDIF interfaces at
motherboard. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a high-end entertainment
system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and speaker systems. See page 1-31 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 failure detection. The ASIC monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of
current for critical components.
