PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER
X5DL8-GG/X5DLR-8G2+/X5DLR-8G2. It has an onboard System Hardware
Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset
Voltage, +5V, +12V and 5V Standby
An onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a
voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent
to the screen.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software On/Off Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status (tachometer reading) of the
cooling fans. The onboard 3-pin CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the
power management functions.
heat detection logic.
Environmental Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and
will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds
a user-defined threshold.
the CPU. It can continue to monitor for overheat conditions even when the
CPU is in sleep mode. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high,
it will automatically turn on the thermal control fan to prevent any overheat
damage to the CPU. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the
overall system temperature and alert users when the chassis temperature
is too high.
CPU Fan Auto-Off in Sleep Mode
The CPU fan activates when the power is turned on. It can be turned off
when the CPU is in sleep mode. When in sleep mode, the CPU will not run
at full power, thereby generating less heat.
Users can adjust the
