Cant seem to find anyhting about it. I could test it tho, but a quicky for anyone having the answer. Do all PowerEdge servers have a upper CPU temp limit for shutting down?

I'm currently playing with my old 2650, so will it turn off if it gets too hot?

  • I have never seen a modern computer (say, one with ACPI) that doesn't have thermal protection – Mark Henderson Nov 28 '13 at 20:38

The answer to your question is; yes. Most if not all motherboards (BIOS) have this feature built in to save the processor(s). These settings normally can be changed to enable/disable and change temperature value.

Yes... but if you're at the point where your CPUs are in danger of overheating, there would be many more indicators that would be be triggered first: e.g. increased fan speed, storage backplane alerts, power supply, etc.
