CPU Temperature
CPU Overheat Temperature
This option indicates the CPU temperature overheat threshold that will activate
the alarm system when the CPU temperature reaches this pre-set temperature

Highlight this and hit <Enter> to see monitor data for the following items:
CPU Temperature
System Temperature
CPU Fan/Fan 1 to Fan 6
If the feature of Auto Fan Control is enabled, the BIOS will automatically display
the status of each fan as specifi ed.
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 the full speed (12V). The Options are: 1. Disable, 2. Optimized
Server w/3-pin, 3. Optimized Workstation w/3-pin, 4. Optimized Server w/4-pin
and 5. Optimized Workstation w/4-pin.
Voltage Monitoring
The following items will be monitored and displayed:
Vcore A, MCH Core, -12V, VDIMM, +3.3V, +12V, +5Vsb, +5VDD, P_VTT, Vbat
Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take
precedence 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.
