With AMD platform substantially keeps increasing the speed of its CPU, it inevitably led to the annoying problem of high CPU
operation temperature at the same time. In order to prevent accidental failure of CPU fan, which could cause the burning down
of the AthlonXP CPU, we, AOpen, have meticulously developed a new technology, named, O.H.P. (Overheat Protection)
Technology to protect them. Thanks to the intelligent monitoring design of AOpen O.H.P. technology, user can now finally set
their mind at ease even when fan failed to work without
fearing the possible damage of CPU.
Under the circumstances that CPU fan is running properly,
AthlonXP temperature should be way below the highest
temperature limit of 97 ℃ . However, if CPU fan
accidentally becomes malfunction or improperly installed,
the CPU temperature would rocket abruptly, and you may
find your system hang up or crying over the smoking CPU
if you haven’t installed AOpen O.H.P. previously. With
AOpen O.H.P. technology applied, the specific thermal
detection pins on AthlonXP CPU would sense voltage
difference when processor is overheated with fan failed,
and the overheat protection system would immediately
send out a signal to abort your system by cutting CPU
electricity before any damage is done. Unlike other
manufacturers who use BIOS or software to control the
power supply of CPU, AOpen O.H.P. Technology is purely
hardware-controlled the minute after system boot-up, and occupies no system resource. We are pleasant to phase in this
practical function on all AOpen AMD series motherboards to protect customer’s valuable hardware and personal data.
