| 107941 | 2002-12-21 05:56:00 | I have a AMD based system with a Gigabyte motherboard. The bios has an option to automatically shutdown if the CPU temperature exceeds 110* degrees C .There is also an option for sounding an alarm when the CPU or System( Northbridge I'm guessing) fan fails. Is there any compelling reason to leave these set to the default value of off. kiwitanker |

| 107942 | 2002-12-21 06:58:00 | set these options to off if you want to set fire to your system with no warning! :-) I don't understand why the off option is default or even why they have the off option for temperature. as for the north bridge fan is that a cheep fan might not have a speed reporting function and so the BIOS will think the fan has stoped. on my system I have a cheep CPU fan that has no speed report function and if I set the BIOS to "shutdown on fan failure" then I can't boot the system :-) |

| 107943 | 2002-12-21 11:21:00 | I've got a Gigabyte motherboard too, and from memory I set the system to shutdown if it peaked over a certain temperature, but I did modify the default temperature value (110*C seems a little high for a processor to handle, doesn't it?), probably something like 70*C. | agent (30) | ||
