Thats because you have an Intel system -- they dont have that protection built in. Of course the user should be able to yoink a power cable.really? uh well is not turning off lol
I dunno why you "lol" so much .... those temps are nothin to laugh at. 59 is ecessively hot for Pentium4sis running at 59C not how about 59 lol is running at constant 59c
Doesnt matter.it is just stock cooling though.
If you installed it then only you knowlol is it possible the thermal paste is not touching the chip?
Hardly ... its excessively high regardless -- and if that was a poke at AMD, have a look at the P4Es (and the P4-Ms)Oh yer if it's AMD that's fine

They cant "handle" it per se but rather their motherboards save them from meltdown (all except one mobo ive encountered which didnt self-terminate heehee)Yes I know....AMD can handle that heat though
