    Looks like there is finally some software available to test the PROCHOT# section in RealTemp! This info is displayed for each core. The Wolfies should show a check mark in The PROCHOT# - History box (right box) at approximately 93C. Every processor is unique but generally this is the magic number. Throttling will be so minor at first that you might not even be able to detect a drop in MHz in CPU-Z or RealTemp.

    If things continue to get hotter then the Status box in RealTemp (left box) will light up along with the History box and then both programs should start to report that your multi is getting cycled down to 6.0 to help keep the temps from getting too crazy. Thermal shut down isn't until 125C so no need to worry just yet.
