Developed by Intel in the mid-1990s, SM Bus is an inexpensive communication device for motherboards. In short, it provides a two-wire interface between the system and power-related components for communications.<\/p>\n

Also, SM Bus monitors voltage and temperature and can send a certain number of error messages when a problem occurs. This makes SM Bus<\/a> an integral part of the system.<\/p>\n

With that being said, you need to pay attention if you see a question mark or a yellow warning sign next to the SM Bus Controller in the Device Manager. This might be a sign of an outdated driver.<\/p>\n
