CPU Temperature Threshold (See note on page 7-18)
This option allows the user to set a CPU temperature threshold that will activate
the alarm system when the CPU temperature reaches this pre-set temperature
threshold. The options are 70oC, 75oC, 80oC and 85oC.
Highlight this and hit <Enter> to see monitor data for the following items:
CPU1 Temperature

Fan1-Fan8 Speeds: If the feature of Auto Fan Control is enabled, the BIOS will
automatically display the status of the fans indicated in this item.
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, and vice versa.
Select Workstation if your system is used as a Workstation. Select Server if your
system is used as a Server. Select 3-pin if your chassis uses 3-pin fans. Select
4-pin if your chassis uses 4-pin fans. Select “Disable” to disable the fan speed
control function and allow the onboard fans to constantly run at the full speed (12V).
The Options are: 1. Disable, 2. Optimized Server w/3-pin, 3. Optimized Workstation
w/3-pin, 4. Optimized Server w/4-pin, and 5. Optimized Workstation w/4-pin.
