49. The basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique temperature information that the motherboard can read This Temperature Threshold or Temperature Tolerance has been assigned at the factory and is the baseline on which the motherboard takes action during different CPU temperature conditions i e by increasing CPU Fan speed triggering the Overheat Alarm etc Since CPUs can have different Temperature Tolerances the installed CPU can now send information to the motherboard what its Temperature Tolerance is and not the other way around This results in better CPU thermal management Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor Low Medium and High This makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU s temperature status rather than by just simply seeing a temperature reading i e 25 C The information provided above is for your reference only For more information on thermal management please refer to Intel s Web site at www Intel com Fan1 Fan 5 If the feature of Auto Fan Control is enabled the BIOS will automatically display the status of the fan as specified Fan Speed Control Modes This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative When the CPU on die temperature increases the fan speed will also increase and vice versa
