Alright, I'm stumped. How does one configure a FC6 system (running KDE) to automatically shutdown if the CPU temp goes to high? I've just replaced the faulty fan on an AMD with a good Intel fan, but it does not sit well and it is liable to get stuck on the heatsink. I'd like the machine to shutdown rather than cook itself, as it did when the original fan went belly-up. I actually smelled it: that's how I knew something was wrong. The BIOS said it was at 108 degrees celsius! (AMD Duron 1.3 GHz).
Isn't there anything in the BIOS that will shut down the system? I agree, having Linux do it is way more graceful, but software is easier to replace than hardware (can't backup a CPU to tape or disk).
