If the CPU temperature reaches the limit preset in the next setting, the system
will shutdown automatically. This helps you to prevent the CPU overheating
problem. This item is available only when your OS supports this function, such
as W indows ME/XP. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].
CPU Shutdown Temp select
If the CPU temperature reaches the limit preset in this setting, the system will
shutdown automatically.
CPU Fan Failure Warning
W hen enabled, the system will automatically monitor the CPU fan during boot-
up. If it detects that the CPU fan is not rotating, the system will show an error
message on the screen and halt the boot-up process. The function is built
with CPU fan power connector (CPUFAN2) only and enables you to pro-
tect the CPU from possible overheating problem. If you don't connect the CPU
fan to the CPU fan power connector, we recommend disabling this feature.
Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].

W hen the current temperature of the CPU fan reaches the value you specify
here, the CPU fan will speed up for cooling down to avoid the CPU damage; on
the contrary, if the CPU fan current temperature is lower than the specified
value, the CPU fan will slow down its speed to keep the temperature stable.
