XHardware Health Confi guration
This feature allows the user to monitor Hardware Health of the system and review 
the status of each item when displayed.
CPU Overheat Alarm
This option allows the user to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting which determines 
when the CPU OH alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible CPU overheat. 
Warning: Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature 
predefi ned by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system 
instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this predefi ned threshold, the 
CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed.
The options are:
The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (includ-
• 
ing the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature 
reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predefi ned by the CPU manufacturer.
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 predefi ned 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. 
System Temperature
This feature displays the absolute system temperature (i.e., 34
o
C).
CPU 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 temperature 
is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will 
run normally as confi gured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
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 ‘Temperature Tolerance’. 
The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as confi gured in the BIOS. The 
fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
