CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of
monitoring the CPU’s temperature during sys-
tem boot up. Once the CPU’s temperature ex-
ceeded the temperature limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system will
automatically shutdown. This preventive measure has been added to
protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environ-
ment.
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose
data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3 GB per sec-
ond and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conven-
tional DDR without increasing its power consumption.
DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V
memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new
innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger
4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
The onboard Realtek ALC850 which is an AC’97 com-
patible audio codec and the 6 audio jacks at the rear
I/O panel provides 8-channel audio output for advanced
7.1-channel super surround sound audio system.
ALC850 also supports S/PDIF input and output, allowing digital
connections with DVD systems or other audio/video multimedia.
