CPU Temperature / MB Temperature �[x�x�x��º�C�/x�x�x��º�F�] The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects and displays the CPU and motherboard temperatures. Select Ignore if you do not wish to display the detected temperatures. CPU_FAN Speed [xxxx RPM] or [Ignore] / [N/A] CHA_FAN1/2/3/4 Speed [xxxx RPM] or [Ignore] / [N/A] The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects and displays the CPU and chassis fan speeds in rotations per minute (RPM). If the fan is not connected to the motherboard, the field shows N/A. Select Ignore if you do not wish to display the detected speed. CPU Voltage, 3.3V Voltage, 5V Voltage, 12V Voltage The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects the voltage output through the onboard voltage regulators. Select Ignore if you do not want to detect this item. CPU_FAN Q-Fan Control [Disabled] [Disabled] Disables the CPU Q-Fan control feature. [Enabled] Enables the CPU Q-Fan control feature. CPU_FAN�S��p�e�e�d��L�o�w��L�i�m��it�[�2�0�0��R�P�M��] This item appears only when you enable the CPU_FAN Q-Fan Control feature and allows you to disable or set the CPU fan warning speed. Configuration options: [Ignore] [200 RPM] [300 RPM] [400 RPM] [500 RPM] [600 RPM] CPU_FAN Fan Profile [Standard] This item appears only when you enable the CPU_FAN�Q��-�F�a�n��C�o�n�t�r�o�l feature and allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU fan. [Standard] Sets to [Standard] to make the CPU fan automatically adjust depending on the CPU temperature. [Silent] Sets to [Silent] to minimize the fan speed for quiet CPU fan operation. [Turbo] Sets to [Turbo] to achieve maximum CPU fan speed. [Manual] Sets to [Manual] to assign detailed fan speed control parameters. The following four items appear only when you set CPU_FAN Fan Profile to [Manual]. CPU_FAN Upper Temperature [70] Use the and keys to adjust the upper limit of the CPU temperature. The values range from 40ºC to 75ºC. CPU_FAN��F�a�n��M�a�x��. �D�u�t�y��C�y�c�l�e 1��0�0�] Use the and keys to adjust the maximum CPU fan duty cycle. The values range from 20% to 100%. When the CPU temperature reaches the upper limit, the CPU fan will operate at the maximum duty cycle. CPU_FAN�L��o�w�e�r��T�e�m��p�e�r�a�tu��re��[�2�0�] Displays the lower limit of the CPU temperature. Chapter 3 ASUS F2A85-V PRO 3-23
