Voltage Monitoring

CPU1 Vcore, CPU2 Vcore, CPU1 DIMM, CPU2 DIMM, 1.5V, 3.3V, 3.3VSB (V), +5V, +5VSB, 12V, and Battery Voltage.

Fan Speed Control Modes

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase for effective system cooling. Select "Full Speed/FS" to allow the onboard fans to run at full speed for maximum cooling. The FS setting is recommended for special system configuration or debugging. Select "Performance/PF" for better system cooling. The PF setting is recommended for high-power-consuming and high-density systems. Select "Balanced/BL" for the onboard fans to run at a speed that will balance the needs between system cooling and power saving. The BL setting is recommended for regular systems with normal hardware configurations. Select "Energy Saving/ES" for best power efficiency and maximum quietness. The Options are: Full Speed/FS, Performance/PF, Balanced/BL, and Energy Saving/ES.

Fan1 ~ Fan8 Reading

This feature displays the fan speed readings from fan interfaces Fan1 through Fan8. (Fan7 is CPU1 Fan and Fan8 is CPU2 Fan.)

ACPI Configuration

Use this feature to configure Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) power management settings for your system.

ACPI Aware O/S

Select Yes to allow the CPU take control over ACPI settings if it is supported by the OS. Otherwise, select No to disable this function. The options are Yes and No.

ACPI Version Features
