3-7. PC Health Status

FAN Fail Alarm Selectable:
This item selects the fan that will be monitored for malfunction.
Shutdown When CPUFan Fail:
When set to [Enabled], the system will be shut down if the CPU fan is not running.
Smart Fan Speed Control:
This item allows you to control the speed of CPU fan down to a specific percentage. When the
temperature limit of both the item "Shutdown Temperature" and "CPU Warning Temperature" are not
exceeded, the CPU fan speed will run at the percentage you set. When the temperature limit of both the
item "CPU Shutdown Temperature" and "CPU Warning Temperature" are exceeded, the CPU fan speed
will run at its 100% speed, regardless of what the percentage you set.
Shutdown Temperature:
This item sets the temperature that would shutdown the system automatically in order to prevent system
overheats.
CPU Warning Temperature:
This item selects the CPU's warning temperature limit. Once the system has detected that the CPU's
temperature exceeded the limit, warning beeps will sound.
NOTE: The onboard hardware monitor function is capable of detecting these system health conditions. If
you want a warning message to pop-up or a warning alarm to sound when an abnormal condition occurs,
you must install the "Hardware Doctor" utility. This utility is included in the "Driver & Utility CD" that
came packed with this motherboard.
All Voltages, Fans Speed and Thermal Monitoring:
These unchangeable items list the current status of the CPU and environment temperatures, fan speeds,
and system power voltage.
NOTE: The hardware monitoring features for temperatures, fans and voltages will occupy the I/O
address from 294H to 297H. If you have a network adapter, sound card or other add-on cards that might
use those I/O addresses, please adjust your add-on card I/O address to avoid using these addresses.
