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] and [70°C /158°F].
Shutdown Temperature
If the CPU temperature reaches the limit preset in this setting, the system will shotdown
automatically.
CPU Smart Fan Target Temp. ( C)
o
W83697HF provides the Smart Fan system which can control the fan speed automati-
cally depending on the current temperature to keep it with in a specific range. Setting
options: Min: [0]( C), Max: [100]( C).

CPU Temperature Tolerance
You can select a fan tolerance value here for the specific range for the "CPU Smart
Fan Target Temp. ( C)" item. If the current temperature of the fan reaches to the
o
maximum threshold (the temperature set in the "CPU Smart Fan Target Temp.( o C)" plus
the tolerance values you set here), the fan will speed up for cooling down. On the
contrary, if the current temperature reaches to the minimum threshold (the set
temperature minus the tolerance value), the fan will slow down to keep the temperature
stable. Setting options: Min: [0]( C), Max: [15]( C).
