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

Highlight this and hit <Enter> to see the data for the following items:
CPU Temperature
System Temperature
Fan 1 Speed - FAN 6 Speed: 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 chassis 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 the fan speed control function to allow the onboard fans to
constantly run at full speed (12V). The Options are: 1. Full Speed at 12V (Disabled)
2. Optimized (for) Server with 3-pin, 3. Optimized (for) Workstation with 3-pin, 4.
Optimized (for) Server with 4-pin, 5. Optimized (for) Workstation with 4-pin.
The Voltage status of the following items will be displayed:
VcoreA
1.5V
Vin0 (3.3V)
Vin1 (5V)
Vin2 (-12V)
Vin3 (12V)
5V Standby
*Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take pre-
cedence over the BIOS settings. When fi 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.
