ello!!!

ive been worried about my heatsink ive just fitted,as in it didnt fit as good as i hoped its a thermaltake blue orb2 its pritty big!! cools the cpu much better then before but im woried it may more all fall over lol!!!

is there a setting in my bios or a program i can get that turns the pc off wen the temp gets to high??????

u can see my pc spec!!!
 
with a blue orb the temps wont be too high anyways... did u put the hsf on tightly? if u did, theres no need
 
Your processor is likely to turn itself off if it gets too hot I think. As long as your new cooling can withstand you knocking it around a little bit when it's off, I expect it will be fine.
 
its tight but for some reason wen my computer is upright it must move a bit, its dont its twise and temps have gone from 32 to 55 and then up then it turns itself off i hope! i just wated a safe gaurd just incase it doesnt turn itself off
