BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is
designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of
computer systems easier. Refer to chapter 4 for instructions on using
the DMI utility.
1.1.2 System Health Monitor Functions
The system board is capable of monitoring the following system
health conditions.
Monitors CPU/system temperature
Monitors 2.5V/3.3V/5V/12V/VCORE voltages
Monitors the fan speed of CPU fan 1 and chassis fan 1
Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan
speed
Refer to the PC Health Status section in chapter 3 for more
information.
1.1.3 Intelligence
Over Voltage
The Over Voltage function allows you to manually adjust to a higher
core voltage that is supplied to the CPU. Although this function is
supported, we do not recommend that you use a higher voltage
because unstable current may be supplied to the system board
causing damage. Refer to Selecting the CPU Core Voltage in
chapter 2 for more information.
CPU Overclocking
The CPU Overclocking function allows you to adjust the CPUs bus
clock in 1MHz increment. However, overclocking may result to the
processors or systems instability and are not guaranteed to provide
better system performance. Refer to CPU Clock in the Frequency/
Voltage Control section in chapter 3 for more information.
