Hardware Monitor for Windows

The  system  board  comes  with  the  Hardware  Monitor  for  Windows  utility.  This
utility  is  capable  of  monitoring  the  system’s  temperature,  fan  speed,  voltage,
etc.  and  allows  you  to  manually  set  a  range  (Highest  and  Lowest  Limit)  to  the
items  being  monitored.  If  the  settings/values  are  over  or  under  the  set  range,  a

warning message will pop-up. The utility can also be configured so that a beep

-

ing alarm will sound whenever an error occurs. We recommend that you use the
“Default Setting” which is the ideal setting that would keep the system in good
working condition.

To install the utility, click “Hardware Monitor for Windows” on the main menu.

1. Setup is now ready to

install the utility. Click Next.
