onboard fans to run at 30% of the Initial PWM Cycle for best power efficiency and

maximum quietness. The options are Full Speed (@100% of PWM Cycle),

Standard

(@50% of PWM Cycle), and Optimal (@30% of PWM Cycle).

CPU Temperature Display Mode

This feature displays the CPU temperature detected by DTS (i.e., +34oC) or tem-

perature status in text ("Low", "Medium" or "High"). The options are

Text Mode

or DTS.

If Text Mode is selected, the CPU Temperature Display Mode will show the CPU

temperature status as follows:

Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU

temperature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The mother-

board fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed

Control).

User intervention: No action required.

Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level

and generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition,

but the CPU is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU

‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally

as configured in the BIOS. The fans may adjust to a faster speed depending

on the Fan Speed Control settings.

User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU

fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage.

High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s

‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may

activate an overheat alarm:
