3.6.1ASUS P2T-Cable

The ASUS P2T-Cable must be used to allow thermal monitoring of the processor (only for motherboards with PCB Rev. 1.01.P and earlier).

NOTE: The ASUS P2T-Cable can only be used in a motherboard with a 2-pin thermal sensor connector such as this

motherboard (the cable is not included on motherboards with PCB Rev. 1.02 and later because the sensor is already built in. To check the PCB version, refer to 22) IDE Activity LED in 3. HARDWARE SETUP).

To Use the ASUS P2T-Cable

NOTE: The following procedures assume that you have properly attached a heatsink onto your processor.

1.Simply peel off the tab from the sensor and then stick the sensor on the proces- sor heatsink nearest the processor.

WARNING! Do not insert the sensor between the processor and heatsink, other- wise, it will cause damage to the P2T-Cable.

2. Connect the P2T-Cable to the CPU thermal sensor connector (JTCPU).

NOTE: JTCPU is no longer necessary/not included on motherboards with PCB versions 1.02 and later
