The mainboard comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained on the CD. It is
capable of monitoring the system’s hardware conditions such as the temperature of the
processor and system, voltage, and the speed of both the CPU and chassis fans. You are

the set range a warning message will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the
Default Settings, which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good working
condition.
