CPU Temperature
The CPU temperature status displays as follows:
Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU
temperature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The mother-
board fans and CPU will run normally as configured 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 configured 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
‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may
activate an overheat alarm:
