| 765803 | 2009-04-17 06:04:00 | Does intel still have their function of shutting down when they get too hot? Does AMD incorporate this feature in their chips yet? | Nictech (14748) | ||
| 765804 | 2009-04-17 06:20:00 | I'm pretty sure both do I may be wrong though. |

| 765805 | 2009-04-17 06:45:00 | AMD used to keep running the CPU until they melt! These days AFAIK both Intel and AMD newer chips shutdown when they overheat. I think the intel ones will "slow down" a bit to decrease heat but if that doesn't work it shuts down. Blam |

| 765807 | 2009-04-17 09:25:00 | AMD used to keep running the CPU until they melt! Actually it is the bios that handles that. |

| 765808 | 2009-04-17 21:08:00 | Its not the CPU - its the motherboard that shuts down if it detects the CPU getting too hot. And that depends on the board........I have no idea if the cheap nasty brands do as well, but all the decent ones do. |
