The Hardware Monitoring System Utility
These mainboards comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained
on the CD. It is capable of monitoring the system’s hardware conditions such as
the temperature of the processor, voltage, and the speed of both the CPU and
chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to the items being
monitored. If the values are over or under the set range a warning message will
automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the Default Settings, which
are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good working condition.
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your
system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.
Only use this utility in Windows ® 95 or Windows ® 98 operating systems.
