CPU Thermal Protection

This motherboard implements special thermal protection circuit below the CPU.
When temperature is higher than a predefined value, the CPU speed will
automatically slow down and there will be warning from BIOS and also ADM
(AOpen Desktop Manager, similar as Intel LDCM) or Hardware Monitor utility
software.
ADM is a very powerful network and hardware monitor software. If you do not
need network monitor function, you may also use Hardware Monitor utility,
which is a small utility for hardware monitoring. Both ADM and Hardware
Monitor utility are available on the bundled CD and our web site
(hhtp://www.aopen.com.tw).
CPU Thermal Protection is automatically implemented by BIOS and utility
software, no hardware installation is needed.
