the CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed.
The options are:
The Default Alarm

(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature
reaches about +5 PECI counts 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.
The Early Alarm Setting: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm
(including 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.
