BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of th\
e system in the CMOS on the motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows the	user	to	modify	basic	system	configuration	settings	or	to	activate	certain	system	features.When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS...

2-2 M.I.T.
This section provides information on the BIOS version, CPU base clock, CPU frequency, memory frequency, total memory size, CPU temperature and CPU voltage, etc.
Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent on your overall system	configurations.	 Incorrectly	doing	overclock/overvoltage	 may	result	 in	damage	 to	CPU,	 chipset,	 or	memory	and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you...

 &CPU/PCH Temperature Displays current CPU/Chipset temperature.
 &System Temperature Displays current system temperatures detected by the system temperature sensors on the motherboard.
 &CPU/CPU OPT/System Fan Speed Displays current CPU/CPU_OPT/system fan speeds.
 &CPU/System/PCH Temperature Warning Sets the warning threshold for CPU/system/Chipset temperature. When temp\
erature exceeds the threshold, BIOS will emit warning sound. Options are: Disabled (default), 60oC/140oF, 70oC/158oF, 80oC/176oF,...

 Normal     Allows the fan to run at different speeds according to the system temperature. You can adjust the fan speed with System Information Viewer based on your system requirements. (Default) Silent     Allows the fan to run at slow speeds. Manual   Allows you to control the fan speed under the Fan Speed Percentage item. Full Speed   Allows the fan to run at full speeds.
