Watchdog
A watchdog timer (WDT) is a device that performs a specific
operation after a certain period of time if something goes
wrong and the system does not recover on its own. A watch-
dog timer can be programmed to perform a warm boot
(restarting the system) after a certain number of seconds.
Hardware Monitor
The Hardware Monitor (HWM) API is a system health super-
vision API that inspects certain condition indexes, such as
fan speed, temperature and voltage.
CPU Speed

sumption. The system will automatically adjust the CPU
speed depending on the system loading.
System Throttling

allows the user to adjust the clock from 87.5% to 12.5%.
