CPU Temperature Protection
The CPU Temperature Protection function has the capability of
monitoring the CPUs temperature during system boot-up. Once it
has detected that the CPUs temperature exceeded the CPU
temperature limit defined in the BIOS, the system will automatically
power-off after 5 warning beeps. Refer to CPU Temp. Prot. Function
and CPU Temp. Prot. Alarm in the PC Health Status section in
chapter 3 for more information.
CPU Fan Protection
The CPU Fan Protection function has the capability of monitoring the
CPU fan during system boot-up and will automatically power-off the
system once it has detected that the CPU fan did not rotate. This
preventive measure has been added to protect the CPU from
damage and insure a safe computing environment. Refer to CPU
Fan Connector with CPU Fan Protection Function in chapter 2 and
CPU Fan Protection in the PC Health Status section in chapter 3
for more information.
Over Voltage
The Over Voltage function allows you to manually adjust to a higher
core voltage that is supplied to the CPU. Although this function is
supported, we do not recommend that you use a higher voltage
because unstable current may be supplied to the system board
causing damage. Refer to CPU
-
Vcore Select in the Frequency/
Voltage Control section in chapter 3 for more information.
CPU Overclocking
The CPU Overclocking function allows you to adjust the processors
bus clock. However, overclocking may result to the processors or
systems instability and are not guaranteed to provide better system
performance. Refer to CPU Host/PCI Clock in the Frequency/
Voltage Control section in chapter 3 for more information.
