H/W Monitor

This section shows the status of your CPU, fan, overall system status, etc. Monitor
function is available only if there is hardware monitoring mechanism onboard.
Chassis Intrusion Detect
The field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusion status
and issuing a warning message if the chassis is once opened. To clear the warning
message, set the field to [Reset]. The setting of the field will automatically return to
[Enabled] later. Setting options: [Enabled], [Reset], [Disabled].
CPU Warning Temperature
This item is used to specify a thermal limit for CPU. If CPU temperature reaches the
specified limit, the system will issue a warning and allows you to prevent the CPU
overheating problem. Settings: [Disabled], [50°C/122°F], [53°C /127°F], [56°C /133°F],
[60°C /140°F], [63°C /145°F], [66°C /151°F], [70°C /158°F].
CPU Smart Fan Temp.
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. You may also choose [Disabled]
to disable the CPU Smart Fan function.
CPU Temperature Tolerance
You can select a fan tolerance value here for the specific range for the CPU Smart
Fan Temp. item. If the current temperature of the CPU fan reaches the maximum
threshold (the temperature set in the CPU Smart Fan Temp. plus the tolerance
value you set here), the fan will speed up for cooling down. On the contrary if the
current temperature reaches the minimum threshold (the set temperatures minus the
tolerance value), the fan will slow down to keep the temperatures stable.
