== Processor overheating == Processors can be damaged from overheating, but vendors protect processors with operational safeguards such as throttling and automatic shutdown. When a core exceeds the set throttle temperature, processors can reduce power to maintain a safe temperature level and if the processor is unable to maintain a safe operating temperature through throttling actions, it will automatically shut down to prevent permanent damage.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005597/processors.html |title = Frequently Asked Questions About Temperature for Intel® Processors}}</ref>
