If it is critical it should not be running on same cores
- Geezus_42 2mo agoUsing the example above, if a CPU core is overheating, can you down clock that core using and instruction run on another core? I don't actually know that much about how the hardware actually works at that level, so I am genuinely asking.
- userbinator 2mo agoIIRC clock control doesn't need to be done in SMM, especially PROCHOT which is a hardwired thermal shutdown. That said, power management is one of the things SMM was originally designed for, so it may be used for some of that.
- inigyou 2mo agoThere's a hardwired emergency shutoff but you probably want the BIOS to set the fans to maximum long before the computer just shuts off.
