figured 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 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.
The Default Alarm – the Overheat LED and system buzzer will activate if the
High condition continues for some time after it is reached. The CPU fan will run
at full speed to bring the CPU temperature down. If the CPU temperature still
increases even with the CPU fan running at full speed, the system buzzer will
activate and the Overheat LED will turn on.
The Early Alarm – the Overheat LED and system buzzer will be activated
exactly when the High level is reached. The CPU fan will run at full speed to
bring the CPU temperature down.
User Intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take
action immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room
temperature to correct any problems.
Notes :
1. The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Cel-
sius/Fahrenheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its
newer processors. The basic concept is that each CPU is embedded with
unique temperature information that the motherboard can read. This ‘Temper-
ature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at the factory
and is the baseline on which the motherboard takes action during different
CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing Fan speed, triggering the
Overheat Alarm, etc.). Since CPUs can have different ‘Temperature Toleranc-
Caution: In both of these alarms, take immediate action as de-
scribed in User Intervention . See CPU Overheat Alarm to modify
the above alarm settings.
The system may shut down if the alarm continues for a long period
to prevent damage to the CPU.
