ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a device and a method for monitoring a component arranged inside a computer. The monitoring device includes: a detection unit, an I2C bus, a display panel, a processor, and a regulation unit. The detection unit is used for detecting and acquiring the information of operation statuses of components inside the computer. The I2C bus coupled to the detection unit is used for transmitting the forgoing detected information. The display panel arrange at a shell of the computer is used for displaying the foregoing information. The processor will receive the information from the I2C bus and thereby display the received information on the display panel. The regulation unit will issue a first control signal to the processor for requiring the processor to regulate the operation status of a component arranged inside the computer, and the processor will issue a second control signal to the detection unit through the I2C bus according the first control signal so as to regulate the operation status of a component arranged inside the computer.
