Chapter 4: BIOS
4-9
4-4.5 Hardware Monitors
This section allows the BIOS to display the status of hardware components monitored
by the AwardBIOS. (*See the note below.)
*
Warning
: Be Sure to read CPU, DDR memory, MCH chipset docments before
select CPU, Memory and MCH core voltage settings. Incorrect settings may
cause damage to the components and result in system failure. In addition,
a very high DRAM or CPU frequency may cause the system to become
unstable. When this occurs, reset the setting to the default setting.
CPU Warning Temperature
These features allows you to set the CPU warning temperature. If the CPU temperature
reaches this pre-set threshold, an alarm will be activated, and a warning message
will be displayed on the screen. To prevent CPU Overheat, the system fan will run at
the full speed when the CPU temperature reaches 10
0
C below the threshold. The
options for the CPU warning temperature are Disabled, 70

Chipset Warning Temperature
These features allows you to set the Chipset warning temperature. If the chipset
temperature reaches the pre-set threshold, an alarm will be activated, and a warning
message will be displayed on the screen. The options for the chipset warning

, Current
CPU Temperature,
Current Chipset Temperature.
The following fan speed item will be displayed:
CPU Fan 1 Speed/Fan 2 Speed/Fan 3 Speed//Fan 4 Speed/Fan 5 Speed
The following Voltage items will be monitored:
V_CORE (CPU)/V_CORE (Chipset)/+1.8V/+12V/-12V/+5V/+3.3V (Main)/+3.3V
(Standby)/+3.3V (Analog)/+3.3V (Battery)
*Note:
In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take pre-
cedence over the BIOS settings. When fi rst 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 Doctor, 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.
