How to Use ABIT FanEQ™

Taipei, Taiwan, November 17^th 2003 – ABIT FanEQ™ is another component of ABIT's exclusive µGuru™ technology. For tweakers and overclockers, excessive system heat means death. Keeping the system cool with efficient airflow is a system-building basic principle. However, more and more users are discovering that adding more and more powerful fans to their systems produces an unwanted side effect: excessive fan noise. What if there was a way to get the maximum amount of cooling while maintaining the sanity of family members and roommates in close proximity? With FanEQ™, you can.

Why ABIT FanEQ™?

ABIT FanEQ™ technology allows users to intelligently control and monitor the fans in their computer systems. With FanEQ™, users can:

• Lower overall system temperatures, increasing stability and enhancing overclocks
• Minimize excessive fan noise
• Intelligently monitor fan activity

With this guide, users can get the most out of FanEQ™ equipped ABIT motherboards.

Here is the CPU Fan monitor in FanEQ™. You can choose one of the three presets (Cool, Quiet or Normal), or you can choose User Define and set your own low and high temperature thresholds. Fan voltage and RPMs are listed on the graph's vertical axis, while the horizontal axis shows temperature.You can also Disable FanEQ™, but why would you want to?

This is with FanEQ™ Disabled. Notice now the selections on the left are greyed out.
