CPU Temperature Protection
The CPU Temperature Protection function has the capability of
monitoring the CPU’s temperature during system boot-up. Once
it has detected that the CPU’s temperature exceeded the “shut-
down temperature” defined in the BIOS, the system will auto-
matically power-off after 5 warning beeps.
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.
CPU Overclocking
The CPU Overclocking function allows you to adjust the proces-
sor’s bus clock. However, overclocking may result to the proces-
sor’s or system’s instability and are not guaranteed to provide
better system performance.
Overvoltage
The Overvoltage function allows you to manually adjust to a
higher core voltage that is supplied to the CPU, AGP and/or
DRAM. Although this function is supported, we do not recom-
mend that you use a higher voltage because unstable current
may be supplied to the system board causing damage.
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the “Soft-Off By PWRBTN” field of
the Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system
to enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
