Shouldn't CPUs shut themselves down when overheated?
- texel 17y agoYes, I suppose they should... this one didn't though. The thermostat must have malfunctioned too.
- pmjordan 17y agoThat's a relatively recent feature. I think as recently as some Pentium 4s, as well as all the pre-K8 AMD CPUs don't have overheating protection. I can't say for PowerPC CPUs.
