Why does the CPU shut down automatically when it overheats?

Cpu overheat automatic shutdown is an overheat protection function. When overheating, forced shutdown can protect the CPU from being burned.

#If the CPU works in an overheated state for a long time, it will damage the transistors in the CPU, cause damage to the surrounding hardware, accelerate aging, and degrade performance. So what are the reasons that cause the CPU to overheat? The following article will introduce to you some reasons for CPU overheating. I hope it will be helpful to you.

The reasons for CPU overheating are:

1. The fan of the CPU radiator is broken and cannot dissipate heat well.

Solution: The fan needs to be replaced. For some original radiators, a radiator needs to be replaced.

2. The computer exhaust vent is blocked by dust, preventing heat from being discharged from the computer.

Solution: Clean the computer regularly.

3. Defects in the design of the computer itself, such as poor air duct design in the chassis, will cause the internal temperature of the chassis to continue to be high, causing the CPU to also be high.

Solution: The chassis air duct needs to be modified. If it cannot be modified, then replace the chassis with a better air duct. For some dusty areas, it is best to buy a dustproof one.

4. The silica gel between the CPU, graphics card and heat spreader has aged, resulting in low thermal conductivity.

Solution: It is necessary to scrape off the original deteriorated silicone grease and replace it with good silicone grease. (Requires disassembly)
