The Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control may only support up to 3.6V ROBLEM on its Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs. The 4-pin fans used with the Intel Desktop board could have a pull up voltage as high as 5.25V, potentially causing failures in the circuit used for fan control on this Intel Desktop Board.
May be fixed in a later hardware revision. TATUS Documentation Changes ® The Documentation Changes listed in this section apply to the Intel Desktop Board D945GTP Technical Product Specification (Order Number D14070). All Documentation Changes will be incorporated into a future version of that specification.
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen. Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen.
