Do Vishera shut themselves down at 62C?

[Vulpes vulpes]

HWmonitor and core temp weren't showing the real temp of my CPU. From what easytuner (gigabyte mobo utility) shows my temps has gone past 62C even at 70C but the CPU never shutdown. I guess my question is if I turn off APM will my CPU still auto shutdown at 62C? Is this shutdown feature something I need to enable in the board bios or is it innate and/or controlled by the chip?

Your processor will either shut down or throttle back at its TjMax.

I honestly thought this was going to get lost in the forums, thank you clutchc. Would this auto shutdown feature still activate with AMP, CnQ, and stepping turned off? It's just been confusing to know which temp is real with bios reporting temps 12C above what hwmonitor and core temp report but since these two programs will report the CPU temp below ambient temps while idle I sided with bios/easytune6 utility.

Software temp pgms can sometimes be kinda flakey. The BIOS temp reading at idle will usually be higher than when idle in Windows because all cores are active and usually running at their rated freq. when you are in BIOS. When in Windows, power saving features come into play and the freq. is lower as is the voltage.

The auto shut down at TjMax (or near it) will happen when the processor reaches that temp in one or more of its cores independent of what power saving features are active.

The most accurate temp pgm I've found is Real Temp. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work with AMD processors. For AMD, I usually use either Core Temp or HWMonitor. Core Temp will display the temp of the core(s) and the TjMax. AMD also provides adequate temp monitoring pgms; Overdrive and System Monitor: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/amd-system-monitor/Pages/overview.aspx

Thanks again clutchc, I have the answers I was looking for. This topic will now close.
