[Enabled], the items RTC Alarm Date and RTC Alarm Time appear with set values.
Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
2.6.5 Hardware Monitor
CPU/MB Temperature [xxxºC/xxxºF]
The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects and displays the motherboard and CPU
temperatures. Select [Ignored] if you do not wish to display the detected temperatures.
CPU Fan / Chassis Fan / Power Fan Speed [xxxxRPM] or [Ignored]
The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects and displays the CPU, chassis,
and power fan speed in rotations per minute (RPM). If the fan is not connected to the
motherboard, the eld shows N/A. Select [Ignored] if you do not wish to display the detected
speed.
VCORE / 3.3V / 5V / 12V Voltage [x.xxxV]
The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects the voltage output through the onboard
voltage regulators. Select Ignored if you do not wish to display the detected voltage output.
CPU Q-Fan Function [Disabled]
Allows you to enable or disable the CPU Q-Fan feature that smartly adjusts the fan speeds
for more efcient system operation. Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Select Fan Type: [PWM Fan]
This item appears only when you set the CPU Q-Fan Function item to [Enabled] and allows
you to select the CPU fan type you installed on the motherboard.

will not work, and the fan you install will always run at full speed.
CPU Q-Fan Mode [Silent]
Allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU Q-Fan. When set to
[Optimal], the CPU fan automatically adjusts depending on the CPU temperature. Set this
item to [Silent] to minimize fan speed for quiet CPU fan operation, or [Performance] to
achieve the maximum CPU fan speed. Conguration options: [Performance] [Optimal] [Silent]
Chassis Q-Fan Function [Disabled]
Allows you to enable or disable the chassis Q-Fan feature that smartly adjusts the fan speeds
for more efcient system operation. Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Chassis Q-Fan Mode [Silent]
Allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the Chassis Q-Fan. When set to
[Optimal], the Chassis fan automatically adjusts depending on the Chassis temperature. Set
this item to [Silent] to minimize fan speed for quiet Chassis fan operation, or [Performance] to
achieve the maximum Chassis fan speed.
