March
24,
1999-In
making
"the
Ultimate
BX
board"
the
BX6
rev.2,
ABIT
has
gone
to
great
lengths
to
insure
the
end-user
the
ability
to
have
the
maximum
amount
of
flexibility
and
resources
at
his
disposal.
To
this
end,
everyone
is
aware
of
our
hardware
monitoring
features,
specifically
the
Windbond
chip
and
Hardware
Doctor
utility.
With
the
Hardware
Doctor,
a
self-diagnostic
software
program
for
the
PC,
the
user
can
monitor
the
following
hardware
configurations
under
Microsoft
Windows
95/98:
- Power
Supply
Voltage
Provide
voltages
for
different
devices
such
as
CPU,
Chipset,
ISA
Bus,
PCI
Bus
- Fan
Speed
Includes
CPU
and
System
fan
speed
- Temperature
Includes
System
temperature
and
a
Thermal
header
for
CPU
or
other
hardware
temperature
monitoring.
As
the
BX6
rev.
user
is
generally
a
"power
user"
ABIT
recommends
that
you
use
the
thermistor
to
monitor
the
CPU
temperature
to
make
sure
you
do
not
run
it
at
a
temperature
that
is
too
high.
But
infact
you
can
use
it
to
monitor
any
peripheral
you
see
fit,
such
as
a
video
card.
For
the
really
adventurous
check
out
the
"How
to
make
a
thermistor
probe"
article
on
BXBoards.com.
They've
got
great
pictures
and
show
you
step
by
step
how
to
use
an
ABIT
board
and
with
a
little
ingenuity,
make
even
a
switchable
thermistor
probe-set
to
toggle
between
different
components.
"�how
to
(for
less
than
$5.00
U.S.)
build
your
own
thermistor
probe
which
you
can
use
to
measure
system
component
temperatures
with
the
new
ABIT
BX6-2,
BM6
or
other
compatible
mainboard
equipped
with
the
Winbond
W83782D
chip
and
a
thermistor
header...Through
having
the
ability
to
properly
measure
temperatures
within
your
system
and
its
components,
a
thermistor
can
help
you
determine
areas
(CPU,
hard
drives,
video
card)
which
may
need
additional
cooling
to
achieve
complete
stabilization
and
possibly
even
higher
performance
in
some
cases"
Not
only
that,
ABIT
provides
you
with
a
full
40cm
thermistor
cable
to
assure
you
the
most
latitude
in
designing
your
hardware
monitoring.
It
is
the
longest
cable
bundled
with
a
board,
compare
other's
with
lengths
of
27cm
and
under!
