System Health Monitor Functions
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following system health conditions:
1. Monitors processor temperature and overheat alarm.
2. Monitors VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/2.5V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Monitors processor/chassis fan speed and failure alarm.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.
1.3.1 Hardware Monitoring System Utility
1.3.1 Hardware Monitoring System Utility
1.3.1 Hardware Monitoring System Utility
The mainboard comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained on the
CD that comes with your mainboard. It is capable of monitoring the system’s
hardware conditions such as the temperature of the processor and system, voltage,
and speed of the CPU and chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to
the items being monitored. If the values are over or under the set range, a warning
message will pop-up. The utility can also be configured to allow a beeping alarm to
sound whenever an error occurs. We recommend that you use the Default Setting,
which is the ideal setting that would maintain the system in good working condition.
Introduction
Use this utility only with Windows ® 95 or Windows ® 98 operating system.
