1.4 System Health Monitoring

The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage

becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen. The user

can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

The system health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The CPU and

chassis fans are controlled by the BIOS Thermal Management.

The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the

thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The

overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once the thermal sensor detects that

the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fans to prevent the

CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system

temperature and alert the user when the chassis temperature is too high.

Note: To avoid possible system overheating, provide adequate airflow to your system.

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5

environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,

you can configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,

CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
