Catastrophic Cooling Failure Sensor

The Catastrophic Cooling Failure Sensor protects the processor from catastrophic overheating.

The Catastrophic Cooling Failure Sensor threshold is set well above the normal operating tem-

perature to ensure that there are no false trips. The processor will stop all executions when the

junction temperature exceeds approximately 125°C. Once activated, the event remains

latched until the CP6003-SA undergoes a power-on restart (all power off and then on again).

This function cannot be enabled or disabled in the uEFI BIOS. It is always enabled to ensure

that the processor is protected in any event.

Note ...

When the TH LED on the front panel is blinking red, it indicates that the proces-

sor temperature is above 125°C.

The Intel® QM67 chipset includes one on-die Thermal Diode Sensor to measure the chipset

die temperature.

The maximum Intel® QM67 chipset junction temperature is 108°C
