Hardware Monitoring
This feature allows the BIOS to automatically monitor the following components
and display the temperature of each component as detected.
CPU Overheat Alarm
This option allows the user to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting which de-
termines when the CPU OH alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible
CPU overheat. Refer to the the next item, CPU Temperature for more information
regarding PECI, DTS and other thermal features of this motherboard.
Warning: Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature
predened by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system
instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this predened threshold,
the CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed.
The options are:
The Default Alarm Setting: 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 PECI counts above the threshold temperature as predened by
the CPU manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed
for CPU and system cooling.
The Early Alarm Setting: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm
(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature
reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predened by the CPU manufacturer.
