Frequently Asked Question(F.A.Q)

MOTHERBOARDS
1) How do I monitor my motherboard temperatures and fan speeds?
2) Difference between ADD and AGP Slots? ( ePRO 845GL, ePRO 845GV motherboards)

1) How do I monitor my motherboard temperatures and fan speeds?
Software by Manufacturers
Many of the tier 1 motherboard manufacturers now bundle over clocking and monitoring software with their motherboards. Gigabyte and MSI for example have their EasyTune and PCAlert/FuzzyLogic software, respectively, that lets you monitor and tweak your system settings in real time without having to reboot into the BIOS.

3rd Party Software
If your manufacturer does not supply their own software, you can check out some 3rd party free software like Motherboard Monitor. Motherboard Monitor can be minimized as a tray icon or used as an OSD overlay (On Screen Display) so you can always keep an eye on your sensors.

Another good package is Speedfan. As the name suggests, SpeedFan is intended to help you control your fan speeds, but it also includes monitoring of temperatures, fan speeds and voltages. It can even monitor your hard drive temperature (if your HD supports it) and also show S.M.A.R.T. info. Pretty cool huh? Check out SpeedFan here.

Monitor is also highly recommended because it includes a software cooler that kicks in when your CPU is idle (this saves energy, reduces idle heat, and might also reduce fan noise if you have temperature sensing fans).

2) Difference between ADD and AGP Slots? (ePRO 845GL, ePRO 845GV motherboards )

AGP is accelerated graphic port , this is the most popular graphic technology for video / multi-media signal transfer from MB platform to graphic card.

ADD is advanced digital display. Such technology is promoted by Intel before for their chipset like Intel 845gl, Intel 845gv, Intel 865gv, etc.The signal is simliar to AGP, but if you put 4x AGP card or 8x AGP card into ADD slot. It cannot work.
