Hardware Monitor Logic

*Note: The Phoenix BIOS will automatically detect the type of CPU(s) and

hardware monitoring chip used on the motherboard and will display the

Hardware Monitoring Screen accordingly. Your Hardware Monitoring Screen

may look like the one shown on this page, or on P. 4-17, depending on the

type of CPU(s) and HW Monitoring chip you are using.

CPU Temperature Threshold

This option allows the user to set a CPU temperature threshold that will activate

the alarm system when the CPU temperature reaches this pre-set temperature

threshold. The options are 75

C, 80

C, 85

C and 90

C. (See the note below.)

Highlight this and hit <Enter> to see monitor data for the following items:

CPU Temperature

System Temperature

Fan1-Fan6 Speeds: If the feature of Auto Fan Control is enabled, the BIOS will

automatically display the status of the fans indicated in this item.

Fan Speed Control Modes

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the

onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When the

CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase, and vice versa.

If the option is set to 3-pin fan, the fan speed is controlled by voltage. If the option

is set to 4-pin, the fan speed will be controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

Select 3-pin if your chassis came with 3-pin fan headers. Select 4-pin if your chas-

sis came with 4-pin fan headers. Select Workstation if your system is used as a

Workstation. Select Server if your system is used as a Server. Select Disable to

disable fan speed control and allow the onboard fans to constantly run at full speed

(12V). The Options are: 1. Disable, 2. 3-pin (Server), 3. 3-pin (Workstation), 4.

4-pin (Server) and 5. 4-pin (Workstation).

Voltage Monitoring

The following items will be monitored and displayed:

Vcore A, 1.5V, -12V, Vdimm, +3.3V, +12V, 5Vsb, 5VDD, P_VTT, Vbat

*Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take pre-

cedence over the BIOS settings. When rst installed, Supero Doctor III adopts the

temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subsequent changes

to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings

override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature

threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set

in the BIOS.
