[Review] Indigo Xtreme vs. AS5, MX-2, IC Diamond, Shin-Etsu X23-7783D

Testing reasons aside, I never understood why people turn off cpu thermal monitor/prochot in bios either since it has nothing to do with overclocking.

On GB board, disabling bidirectional prochot and cpu thermal monitor, throttling no longer occured at 100C, but thermatrip still worked on E8400, E7200, and E8600 the multiple times I tried it (around 122C on my E8400). (Trying to figure out tjmax in realtemp thread 1-2yrs ago by measuring core with thermocouple via drilled hole in IHS, etc verses core temp software reading, was not just randomly torturing my cpus).

Never damaged any running it to thermatrip, except the E7200 trying to read bare core temp with IR after removing the IHS and melted/smoked, before thermatrip kicked in.

Edit: I run realtemp always and with cpu alarm/shutdown at 85C, and gpu alarm/shutdown computer at 75C. Not a bad idea to have some shutdown program anyways to avoid all pump failure issues, but I would like to see what happens if you reflow while vertical...though not worried about it happening.
