your motherboard should have a "CPU shutdown Temp" and you set the temp you would like it to shutdown at. It should be located in the BIOS under "PC Health Status" page.

SpeedFan can warn you when you CPU gets too hot. But i don not think it will totally shutdown your computer.

smart guardian will alert you when it gets too hot. your best bet is to just set temps in manually in the bios like 4w4 said. I would make it shut down past 49*C.

also if your worried about heat, get better cooling a Great fan only cost about 10 dollars. the best heat sinks are under 50.00

i've never personally used it on any mobo that had that feature lol, buut it's usually there. i'd feel safer with an aftermarket software to protect it, and that's kind of sad

Your ABit board had it. Furthemore, its implemented in hardware so i dont think (without hacking) you can turn it off
