X8SAX/C7X58 User’s Manual
by a unique temperature information that the motherboard can read. This
‘Temperature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at
the factory and is the baseline by which the motherboard takes action during
different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing CPU Fan speed,
triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can have different ‘Tem-
perature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send its ‘Temperature Toler-
ance’ to the motherboard resulting in better CPU thermal management.
Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to
certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This
makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU’s temperature status,
rather than by just simply seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25
o
C).
The information provided above is for your reference only. For more information on
thermal management, please refer to Intel’s Web site at www.Intel.com.
System Temperature
This feature displays the absolute system temperature (i.e., 34
o
C).
Fan Speed Control Modes
This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the
onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When the
CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase, and vice versa.
Select Workstation if your system is used as a Workstation. Select Server if your
system is used as a Server. Select “Disabled, (Full Speed @12V)” to disable the
fan speed control function and allow the onboard fans to constantly run at the full
speed (12V). The Options are: 1.
Disabled , 2. 4-pin (Super Quiet), and 3. 4-pin
(Workstation).
Voltage Monitoring
Vcore, +3.3Vcc, 12V, V_DIMM, 5V, -12V, 3.3VSB, and Vbatt.
Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take
precedence over the BIOS settings. When first installed, Supero Doctor III
adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any
subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doc-
tor, since the SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows
OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the
SDIII settings to be the same as those set in the BIOS.
