Please log in for more thread options I've searched the manual, PDF's and ASUS's website and cannot find this info. So, does it contain something similar to COP or any other overheat protection for the CPU? The CPU is an AMD 64 3200+ Venice Socket 939 if that helps. Thank you. | ||||

So you say this:If the temp goes too high, the cpu shuts down even if the motherboard has no such settings? It's a function of the CPU and NOT the motherbaord? Do I have it correct? | ||||

If the processor goes over a temperature specifically defined for that processor, the THERMTRIP signal is asserted. It connects to the PS_ON# logic tree, and should shut off the motherboard immediately. On previous boards, a marketing term was applied to this (COP), because a chip was added (adds expense to build). With the newer processors, the processor already has the logic signal for the protection function. It will still cost a couple pennies, but is not really such a big feature, as to have a name any more. Still, you can ask tech support, whether it is hooked up for certain. I don't see an easy way to verify it, and it is not listed anywhere on the Asus FAQ page for your board. Paul | ||||
