Software to monitor shut down PC incase of fan failure

[Wheezer]

My motherboard does not allow me to set the shut off temp in the BIOS.
(BFG/Foxxcon 590Sli)

I am running an MCP 655-B pump that has a cable that allows it to be plugged into the CPU fan header to monitor the RPMs, I would like something that will monitor that value as well as the temp and shut the computer down in case of pump failure or temp fault.

I know about most of them out there, but here is the caveat, I am running a BE 5000+ CPU and apparently that CPU does not always play well with others, it does not allow programs like speedfan to report temps correctly...the only software that will report temps correctly is nTune but that does not allow for shut off of the computer.

is there something that will monitor the cpu fan header and will shut the computer down if it drops below a certain rpm level?

All CPUs shut down on overheat. It's not necessary.

Shut down or throttle down.

A rapid rise in temperature will cause an immediate power off with no warnings to protect processor, I think throttle is only for temperature rise that is not too rapid and at the same time the temperature is high an close to threshold. Well, I am not very sure, but I think it should work like that.

Shut down or throttle down.

AMD = Shut off
Intel = Throttle, then shutoff.

Any bnenchmarker who's worth his weight in salt has banged hard against an overheat shutdown numerous times.

Assuming the heatsink is attached properly, the CPU shouldn't be heated very rapidly. As the heatsink becomes saturated during a fan failure, the Intel will first throttle and then shutdown if necessary. You probably set a "warning" limit in the BIOS.
