Hardware Health
Confi guration
This feature allows the user to monitor Hardware Health of the system and review
the status of each item when displayed.
CPU Overheat Alarm
This option allows the user to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting which de-
termines when the CPU OH alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible
CPU overheat.
Warning: Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature predefi ned
by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system instability. When the
CPU temperature reaches this predefi 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 predefi 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 predefi 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.
System Temperature
This feature displays the absolute system temperature (i.e., 34
o
C).
CPU Temperature
The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected
by the BIOS:
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 confi 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 confi gured in the BIOS. The
fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
