RT2 Header (Optional)
This header is for you to connect an additional thermistor to detect the CPU
temperature. You can buy the thermistor at an electronics store, and ask for a
10K thermistor which will be OK. Please don't use too long of a lead wire for
the thermistor. You can see the detected temperature in the BIOS menu. (see
Chipset Features Setup Menu)
According to ACPI specifications, CPU fan speed is relative to the CPU
temperature. In order to avoid confusing ACPI functions, we strongly suggest that
you connect the additional thermistor to the CPU.
Note: Before you install or unplug any connectors or add-on cards, please remember to turn
the ATX power supply switch off (fully turn the +5V standby power off), or take power
cord off. Otherwise, you may cause the motherboard components, add-on cards to
malfunction or be damaged.
