CPU Temperature Threshold

This option indicates a CPU temperature threshold that will activate the alarm system when the CPU temperature reaches this pre-set temperature threshold.

The hardcode default setting is 75oC. (*See the note below.)

Temperature Monitoring

Highlight this and hit <Enter> to see monitor data for the following items:

PECI Agent 1 Temperature/PECI Agent 2 Temperature

PECI Agent 3 Temperature/PECI Agent 4 Temperature

System 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. If the option is set to “3-pin fan”, the fan speed is controlled by voltage. If the op- tion is set to “4-pin”, the fan speed will be controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Select “3-pin” if your chassis came with 3-pin fan headers. Select “4-pin” if your chassis came with 4-pin fan headers. Select “Workstation” if your system is used as a Workstation. Select “Server” if your system is used as a Server. Select “Disable” to disable the fan speed control function to allow the onboard fans to constantly run at full speed (12V). The Options are: 1. Disable, 2. 3-pin (Server), 3. 3-pin (Workstation), 4. 4-pin (Server) and 5. 4-pin (Workstation).

Voltage Monitoring

The following items will be monitored and displayed: Vcore A:/Vcore B:

-12V/+12V P1V2_NIC_SEN +3.3V 5Vsb/5VDD P_VTT/Vbat

Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take prece- dence over the BIOS settings. When first installed, Supero Doctor III adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set in the BIOS.
