Some special features---
CPU Thermal Throttling/ CPU Vcore 7-shift/ CPU Smart Fan
in
this motherboard are designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in more
flexible ways. But please be caution that the over-clocking maybe causes the fails in system
reliabilities. This motherboard provides the guaranteed performance and meets the demands
of the next generation computing. But if you insist to gain more system performance with
variety possibilities of the components you choose, please be careful and make sure to read
the detailed descriptions of these value added product features, please get them in the coming
section.
1-1.1 Special Features of Motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology---(The CPU Overheat Protection Technology)
To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at high
workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter partially idle
mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 40
℃ to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset
value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool
down the processor. When at throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to
indicate it is in working.
CPU Smart Fan---( The Noise Management System )
It’s never been a good idea to gain the performance of your system by sacrificing its acoustics. CPU
Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to control the noise level needed for now-a-day’s
high performance computing system. The system will automatically increase the fan speed when CPU
operating loading is high, after the CPU is in normal operating condition, the system will low down
the fan speed for the silent operating environment. The system can provide the much longer life cycle
for both CPU and the system fans for game use and business requirements.
CPU Vcore 14-Shift--- (Shift to Higher Performance)
The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 14 steps for the precisely over-clocking of extra demanding
computing performance.
