LED enthusiasts now have even more options with the ability to customize multiple zones independently. For a more functional use, the bright & vibrant LEDs can be configured to display the PC’s temperature or load. For even more LED goodness RGBW strips are now supported for more true & vibrant whites. Smart Fan 5 With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM & Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly. All Hybrid Fan Pin Headers • All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode. • Supports up to 2 amps with built-in overcurrent protection—a must for high-end high current fans. Realtek Gb E LAN with c Fos Speed Internet Accelerator Networking Realtek Gb E LAN features c Fos Speed, a network traffic management application which helps to improve network latency & maintain low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments. Diagnostic LEDs Hardware Troubleshooting at a Glance Onboard LEDs controlled by the system BIOS indicate if a malfunction is occurring, allowing users to quickly diagnose which major component (CPU/DDR/VGA/HDD) is malfunctioning so they may take action promptly.
