Gigabyte Understanding Reset Case Open Status, BIOS Settings, and CPU Fan Fail Warning Control

Page 45

Reset Case Open Status

Disabled	Don't reset case open status. (Default value)
Enabled	Clear case open status at next boot.

Case Opened

If the case is closed, "Case Opened" will show "No".

If the case have been opened, "Case Opened" will show "Yes".

If you want to reset "Case Opened" value, set "Reset Case Open Status" to "Enabled" and save CMOS, your computer will restart.

Current Voltage(V) Vcore / DDR25V / +3.3V / +12V

Detect system's voltage status automatically.

Current CPU Temperature

Detect CPU temperature automatically.

Current CPU/SYSTEM FAN Speed (RPM)

Detect CPU/SYSTEM Fan speed status automatically.

CPU Warning Temperature

60oC / 140oF	Monitor CPU temperature at 60oC / 140oF.
70oC / 158oF	Monitor CPU temperature at 70oC / 158oF.
80oC / 176oF	Monitor CPU temperature at 80oC / 176oF.
90oC / 194oF	Monitor CPU temperature at 90oC / 194oF.
Disabled	Disable this function. (Default value)

CPU/SYSEM FAN Fail Warning

Disabled	Fan warning function disable. (Default value)
Enabled	Fan warning function enable.

CPU Smart FAN Control

Disabled	Disable this function.
Enabled	When this function is enabled, CPU fan will run at different speed depending on
	CPU temperature. Users can adjust the fan speed with Easy Tune based on
	their requirements. (Default Value)

CPU Smart FAN Mode

This option is available only when CPU Smart FAN Control is enabled.

Auto	BIOS autodetects the type of CPU fan you installed and sets the optimal CPU
	Smart FAN control mode for it. (Default Value)
Voltage	Set to Voltage when you use a CPU fan with a 3-pin fan power cable.
PWM	Set to PWM when you use a CPU fan with a 4-pin fan power cable.

Note: In fact, the Voltage option can be used for CPU fans with 3-pin or 4-pin power cables. However, some 4-pin CPU fan power cables are not designed following Intel 4-Wire fans PWM control specifications. With such CPU fans, selecting PWM will not effectively reduce the fan speed.
