 The Default Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm
(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature
reaches about 5oC above the threshold temperature as predefined by the CPU
manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU
and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as
shown below.
CPU1 Temperature/CPU2 Temperature/System Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System.
The following items will be displayed for your reference only:
CPU1 Temperature/CPU2 Temperature
The CPU Temperatures feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected by
the BIOS:
Low – This level is considered as the 'normal' operating state. The CPU temperature is
well below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'. The Motherboard fans and CPU will run
normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
User intervention: No action required.
Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a 'precautionary' level and
generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU is
still within its normal operating state and below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'. The
Motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS. The fans may
adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings. User
intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU fans and the
chassis ventilation for blockage.
High – The processor is running hot. This is a 'caution' level since the CPU's
'Temperature Tolerance' has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate
an overheat alarm. The system may shut down if it continues for a long period to
prevent damage to the CPU.
User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take action
immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room temperature to
correct any problems.
Notes:
The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Celsius/Fahrenheit)
has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its newer processors. The
basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique temperature information that the
Motherboard can read. This 'Temperature Threshold' or 'Temperature Tolerance' has
been assigned at the factory and is the baseline on which the Motherboard takes action
during different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing CPU Fan speed,
triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can have different 'Temperature
Tolerances', the installed CPU can now send information to the Motherboard what its
'Temperature Tolerance' is, and not the other way around. This results in better CPU
thermal management. Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a
temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and
