You can use RealTemp to shut down your computer based on core temperature or Nvidia GPU temperature. rge has tested this feature and has had good results with it.

In the RealTemp folder is a simple one line file called RTShutDown.bat that calls the Windows shutdown.exe command. It looks like this

shutdown.exe /s /t 10 /f /c "RealTemp Alarm Shutdown"

The default is a 10 second interval before shut down but if you need that to be much quicker then change the 10 to a 1 to get a 1 second interval.

In the RealTemp Settings window set the Alarm to a low number like 60C and then run LinX and see if it works.



It's definitely not a good idea to put a thermocouple between the heatsink and IHS. Those two surfaces need to be nice and square for proper heat transfer. The Intel method is to cut a groove in the IHS for this purpose so that the heatsink will still be able to lie flat. I have the docs to do this in some folder on some hard drive so let me know if you need to see the official method.
