X7DBT/X7DBT-INF/X7DGT/X7DGT-INF User's Manual

Hardware Monitor Logic

*Note: The Phoenix BIOS will automatically detect the type of CPU(s) and hardware monitoring chip used on the motherboard and will display the Hardware Monitoring Screen accordingly. Your Hardware Monitoring Screen may look like the one shown on this page, on P. 4-19, or on P. 4-20, depending on the type of CPU(s) and HW Monitoring chip you are using.

CPU Temperature Threshold

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. (See the note below.)

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

CPU1 Temperature/CPU1 Second Core

CPU2 Temperature/CPU2 Second Core

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. 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.

Voltage Monitoring

The following items will be monitored and displayed:

Vcore A/Vcore B/P1V5/+3.3V/+12V/5Vsb/5VDD

*Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take pre- cedence over the BIOS settings. When fi rst 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.
