ASUS C.O.P. (CPU Overheating Protection) ASUS C.O.P. is a hardware protection circuit that automatically shuts down the system power before temperatures go high enough to permanently damage our CPU.
CrashFree BIOS CrashFree BIOS allows users to restore BIOS data from a floppy diskette even when BIOS code and data are corrupted during upgrade or invaded by virus. Unlike other competing vendors' products, ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection feature without the need to pay for an extra ROM.
S/PDIF out interface Asus A7V400-MX provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems via an S/PDIF-out (SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) module. It allows to transfer digital audio without converting to analog format and keeps the best signal quality. (Notes: S/PDIF module is seperately sold)
