Changing the Upper Temperature Thresholds of a Z Microsystems Processor

The following is the procedure to adjust the Upper Temperature Threshold of some of Z Microsystems' processors using Intel's Active Monitor software. When using Intel's Active Monitor, Z Microsystems recommends that the threshold temperature be increased to minimize unwarranted warnings. The temperature levels are dependent on the motherboard, processor and memory that are installed on each system. Please consult with Z Microsystems for these settings. The procedure to adjust these settings is described below.

  1. Open the Intel Active Monitor software. The following main Cooling screen will appear:
