3.15.1 Thermal Monitoring
The system setup utility displays the processor and board temperatures.
For
further information on how to check these temperatures, refer to
Aptio
Skylake Core BIOS Manual.
3.15.2 Thermal Throttling
3.15.2.1 CPU Throttling (Hardware Controlled)
The processor must not exceed the 100°C maximum junction temperature
(Tj).
When the integrated thermal monitor on the processor determines that the
maximum processor temperature has been reached, the CPU clock speed will
be throttled back in 100MHz increments to keep Tj from exceeding the
maximum junction temperature of 100° C.
If throttling is not enough to keep
the processor’s
Tj below the catastrophic
temperature limit of 105° C:
•
The THERMTRIP# signal will be sent, and
•
The voltage supply to the processor will be turned off within 500ms
to prevent permanent silicon damage.
3.15.2.2 Thermal Management (OSPM Controlled)
The active and passive trip points are configured using the system Bios. For
information on how to configure these trip points, refer to
Aptio Skylake Core
BIOS Manual.
3.15.3 Memory Throttling
The memory bandwidth can be throttled back automatically if a thermal
sensor is on the DIMM. The NCT6106 will alert the memory controller via PECI
when the system memory exceeds its normal operating temperature.
For further information on configuring the memory bandwidth throttling
b
ased on temperature readings from the DIMM’s thermal sensor
, refer to
Aptio Skylake Core BIOS Manual
.
