or
2.Allow the system to power-off after the 5 warning beeps then
check whether the heatsink and fan are mounted properly onto the
CPU because high CPU temperature may be due to incorrect fan/
heatsink installation. Now restart the system. If the same problem
persist, it may be that the CPU fan is damaged or it is not rotating
properly. Try replacing it with a new fan. If it is due to other
contributing factors that resulted to high CPU temperature, you
may need to set a lower CPU temperature limit.
CPU Temperature References
When you power-up a system, the BIOS message appears on
the screen and the memory count begins. After the memory test,
the CPU temperature range is normally between 32
o
C and
35
o
C. When you run an operating system then tried to reboot
the system, the CPU temperature range at this time is between
40
o
C and 45
o
C. These temperature references serve as a guide
when you select the CPU temperature limit.
Current System Temp., Current CPU Temperature, Current CPU Fan
Speed and Current Chassis Fan Speed
These fields show the internal temperature of the system, current
temperature of the CPU, and the current fan speed of the CPU and
chassis fans in RPM (Revolutions Per Minute).
CPU(V)
These fields show the voltage of the processor.
+3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, -5V, VBAT(V) and 5VSB(V)
These fields show the output voltage of the power supply.
Note:
The onboard hardware monitor function is capable of detecting
system health conditions but if you want a warning message
to pop-up or a warning alarm to sound when an abnormal
condition occurs, you must install the Hardware Monitor utility.
This utility is included in the CD that came with the system
board. Refer to the Hardware Monitor section in chapter 4 for
more information.
