1141275 2010-10-03 04:13:00 Does the bios for the Phenom IIX2 550(HDX550WFK2DGM)
have automatic shutdown when it gets too hot?

Can't find anything about this on the net.

Is that automatically?

1141278 2010-10-03 04:55:00 Yup its by design. otherwise most would fry. I dont think its the BIOS that deals with it, it's a feature of most CPU's Speedy Gonzales (78)

It's not the CPU - it's the motherboards that have that . Or not .
Go into your BIOS, if you have a shutdown or overheat temp warning listing then yes it will . All good quality boards do .

1141280 2010-10-03 05:09:00 The motherboard is Asus M2A-VM. Will it shut down automatically? QW. (15883)
1141281 2010-10-03 05:14:00 Reading the BIOS settings section of the manual, or just look through the BIOS setup itself should tell you pretty quick if there is a user settable option. Agent_24 (57)
1141282 2010-10-03 05:42:00 Have read the manual but can't find any to suggest it will shut itself down when too hot QW. (15883)
1141283 2010-10-03 06:07:00 Yeah I can't find anything either. The cheap Asus boards don't seem to have everything. I had one which didn't even have fan speed control.

Best bet is to run a hardware monitor program and set it to alert or shutdown if the temperature is exceeded.

Correct with processor, incorrect with mobo. AMD Processors introduced CPU based thermal shutdown with AMD64 and beyond.

Incorrect over processor, correct with mobo comment.
