・CPU temperature values given by the hardware monitoring function installed in
the VPC-1000 series will vary according to the stepping of the installed CPU.
Since the bundled software corrects the value according to the CPU, there is
no problem. However, if you use the hardware monitoring function through direct
hardware access or the standard Windows API, give consideration to the value
variations for each CPU.
・If a fan is replaced with service parts, fan speed may be different.
