Asus Probe II Application Manual

ASUS PC Probe II

PC Probe II is a utility that monitors the computer’s vital components, and detects
and alerts you of any problem with these components. PC Probe II senses fan
rotations, CPU temperature, and system voltages, among others. Because PC

you turn it on. With this utility, you are assured that your computer is always at a
healthy operating condition.
