System Overheat shutdown

Wathnix · 05-10-07, 07:18 PM

I'm rebuilding a computer of a relative of mine that had a bad PSU and Mobo, I'm taking a guess that the system overheated and fried components, I want to find a program that can monitor the cpu and mobo temp and shut the system down if it overheats, any ideas?

Umm, if the cpu overheats it should shut itself down as a safety feature? MBM will force the shutdown at a certain temp that you can set

there may be an option in the bios as like in my dads via/athlon 1100 rig to shut down at a certain temp

I Looked and there is no BIOS shutdown option, BTW this is an athlon 3800+ on an am2 mobo

Ninja, athlons do not take care of thermal problems on their own like intel processors do

My Athlon 2000+ shuts itself down when it overheats (about 75* C), but MBM should do what you want

yea mbm has a setting to let you shut down at a certain temp... i would do that but i have w/c so it really isnt an issue but before i had a stock hsf for a p4 and as we know they 5uck... big time i caught my cpu's idle at 190F!!! and i just immediately shut down and then went watercooling now i have never gone past 44C
