Shutdown temperature

[Jumbotron]

Hello:

 

i read the next in the manual of the motherboard when i was looking for some information about this setting of the BIOS:

 

Shutdown Temperature

You can prevent the system from overheating by selecting a tem-

perature in this field. If the system detected that its temperature

exceeded the one set in this field, it will automatically shutdown.

 

what does 'the system' mean in that sentence: the CPU, the chipset, the PWM area, the GPU, the PSU, none of those? I guess it must be the CPU but don't you think the word 'system' is a little vague in that context?

 

See you.

It means your cpu or chipset. If either get too hot the computer will shut itself down to prevent self inialation!

CPU or Chipset, but mainly the CPU.

I have another 939 motherboard, from diferent brand (MSI, yuck btw) and it DOESN'T have this type of protection... if the CPU overheat up to 100° C the motherboard would continue to operate it, which is way WRONG.

 

At least DFI has this type of protection.

Idk about other boards/Bios but my Ultra-D has cpu shutoffs at 70c, 65c, and 60c. I keep mine at 60c but my 3800 doesnt go past 46c so alls good. I wish the motherboard would do the same with the chipset because Ive had my VC-RE pop off twice now (bad tabs w/ modification required) and my temps sky rocketed. Luckily I caught both but man I know one day im gonna come home to a dead rig lol.

I secured my Vantec IceberQ 4 with screws, nuts and springs... so if it comes loose that means the pc was in the middle of an explosion or something

 

I destroyed one of the plastic pins by mistake, thats why i am using the steel nut/screws/springs instead... its like installing a waterblock, all you do is tighten the screws a little and check the spring tension; of course I had to use the right screws lenght, other wise they would be touching the motherboard tray on the other side.

I still don't know why Chuck is roadhouse kicking Richard Dean Anderson...

I ended up canabalizing the stock chipset cooler for a new pin setup and so far it's doing good. For your question talk to blick thats his interpretation of chuck VS macgyver

Thank you for your replies. I've set it to 60º C.

 

See you.

Good choice!

 

This is the setting that I use, also. I don't want the system to get too hot.
