CPU Overheat Alarm This option enables you to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting, which determines
when the CPU OH alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible CPU
overheat.
WARNING! Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature
predefined by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or
system instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this predefined
threshold, the CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed.
To avoid possible system overheating, be sure to provide adequate
airflow to your system.
The options are:
The Early Alarm – Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (includ-
ing the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature
reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predefined by the CPU manufacturer.
The Default Alarm – Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm
(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature
reaches about 5°C above the threshold temperature as predefined by the CPU
manufacturer. This gives the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU
and system cooling. In both the alarms, take immediate action as shown for CPU
