Fan monitoring can be implemented using ASUS Armoury Crate Software.
System States and Power States
Please refer to the table below for ACPI states supported by the processor.
State Description
G0/S0/C0 Full On: CPU operating. Individual devices may be shut to save
power. The different CPU operating levels are defined by Cx states.
GO/S0/Cx Cx State: CPU manages C-states by itself and can be in lower power
states.
G1 Suspend-To-RAM (STR): The system context is maintained in
system DRAM, but power is shut to non-critical circuits. Memory is
retained and refreshes continue. All external clocks are shut off; RTC
clock and international oscillator clocks are still toggling.
G1/S4 Suspend-To-Disk (STD): The context of the system is maintained
on the disk. All power is then shut to the system except to the logic
required to resume. Externally appears the same as S5 but may have
different wake events.
G2/S5 Soft Off: System context not maintained. All power is shut except
for the logic required to restart. A full boot is required when waking.
G3 Mechanical Off: System context not maintained. All power shut
except for the RTC. No “Wake” events are possible because the
system does not have any power. This state occurs if the user
removes the batteries, turns off a mechanical switch, or if the
system power supply is at a level that is insufficient to power the
“waking” logic.
