Asus Overheat protection?

[ironk]

Do Asus motherboards have a overheat/auto-shutdown protection in their motherboards?
I am looking at this motherboard:

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LMUSB3/

And the cpu is this one:

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Athlon II X2 220 - ADX220OCK22GM.html


I noticed in the motherboard, there is a HW section which gives the temperature of the cpu and the motherboard. However, there is just the option to display these temperatures or select the Ignore option. Someone also mentioned that the overheat protection is now built into the cpu, not sure if this is true.

I know Intel CPU'S have built in thermal protection, rather at a certain temp they will shut down to protect themselves. Can't speak for the AMD CPU'S as I have not had one in quiet some time, and really not able to give an honest reply.
I use real temp when monitoring my temps, it has an alarm you can set to different temperatures so as to know when to stop............

I believe AMD has this built into the CPU, and Asus has software for this. Even though this hardware is about 3 -4 years old, those features should still be there.

alright, it maybe in the cpu then.
