The options are:
• The Early Alarm : Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm
(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temper-
ature reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predefined by the CPU manufac-
turer.
• The Default Alarm (default): Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat
alarm (including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU tem-
perature reaches about 5
o
C above the threshold temperature as predefined by
the CPU manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed
for CPU and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate
action as shown below.
3.3.9.2 CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature/System Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System.
The following items will be displayed for your reference only:
CPU1 Temperature/CPU2 Temperature
The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Celsius/Fahrenheit)
has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its newer processors. The
basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique temperature information that the
motherboard can read. This ‘Temperature 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 CPU Fan
speed, triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can have different ‘Temper-
ature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send information to the motherboard
what its ‘Temperature Tolerance’ is, and not the other way around. This results in
better CPU thermal management. Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assign-
ing a temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low,
Medium and High). This makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU’s tem-
perature status, rather than by just simply seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25
o
C).
The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected
by the BIOS:
Caution: 1. Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature pre-
defined by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system instability.
When the CPU temperature reaches this predefined threshold, the CPU and system
cooling fans will run at full speed.
2. To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate airflow
to your system.
