The Default Alarm
: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm
(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature
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.
3.3.8.2 CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature/System Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPUs and the System. The
following items will be displayed for your reference only:
CPU 1 Temperature/ CPU 2 Temperature
The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected
by the BIOS:
•
Low –
This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU tem-
perature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard
fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Con-
trol). 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 ‘Tem-
perature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as con-
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 system may shut down if it continues for a long
period to prevent damage to the CPU.
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 each CPU is embedded with unique
