Hey guys,
Hopefully this thread is in the right place.
I own an Acer Predator gaming PC, and specifically, it has an American Megatrends UEFI BIOS which is presumably modded my Acer.
In the advanced settings, both ''System Shutdown Temp'' and ''CPU Shutdown Temp'' are off by default.
So as the overly cautious-verging-on-paranoid when it comes to melting circuit boards, I turned both on> Strangely it didn't let me customise the temps for system shut down (I know my Haswell chip for instance has safe operating temps well above 85c)
So, after switching both on, I ran a Prime95 torture test - I was monitoring my temps, and after about 3 or 4 minutes my CPU & Motherboard temps hit 72c. My system then shutdown. I turned off those BIOS settings as it seemed pointless for a system to shutdown at 72c. Am I wrong here? Do you guys reckon that because I can't specify the values for shutdown, it just goes with the lowest common denominator?
My last question is; if I leave these BIOS Settings off, will my Haswell chip/system shut itself down if the temps get too high anyway? Cheers!
