Warning: Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature
prede fi ned by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system
instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this prede fi ned threshold, the
CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed.
The options are:
The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (includ-
•
ing the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature
reaches the CPU overheat threshold as prede fi ned by the CPU manufacturer.
The Default Alarm
•
: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm
(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature
reaches about 5
o
C above the threshold temperature as prede fi ned by the CPU
manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU
and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate action
as shown below.
CPU Temperature
The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected
by the BIOS.
System Temperature
This feature displays the absolute system temperature (i.e., 90
o
C).
Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature
is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will
run normally as con fi gured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
User intervention: No action required.
Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level and
generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU
is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’.
The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as con fi gured in the BIOS. The
fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU
fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage.
High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s ‘Tem-
perature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate
an overheat alarm:
The Default Alarm – the Overheat LED and system buzzer will activate if the High
condition continues for some time after it is reached. The CPU fan will run at full
speed to bring the CPU temperature down. If the CPU temperature still increases
