Hi guys! I´ts been a while. I`m posting this to ask for help. Here`s the dea:. Today I was playing Legue of Legends ( yeah, I know, lame) and I noticed mi screen stuttering ( like 10 fps or something). I putted my hand behind my CPU case and I felt the air quite hot.
Immediately I opened HW monitor, and I noticed that CPUTIN ( socket probe), was 74 ºC ( never passed 57 ºC). Probably CPU cooler stopped working ( I have some kind of home made 7v/12v circuit for the cpu cooler, and I was on 7v, buuuut I think it may have been halted. Mi bad).
Anyway, I switched to the 12v circuit and the temp went down. Despite that, I resetes mi PC and entered th BIOS, in search for activate thermal throttling. I found the opcion thermal throttlin enable/disable and some porcentage options. I chose %87 ish option. My question: It will slow down CPU activity when reaching high temps? how does it works exactly in this Motherboeard?.
My specs:

FX6300 ( with Arctic cooler 7)
960GM-VGS3
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
R7260x
Antec VP 450

Why? Thermal throttling works depending on coool,er RPM? A 90mm sleeve bearing cooler is connected to PSUwith a molex connector.Works fine. The question here is: How does thermal throttling works exactly? And in this particular motherboard, what does the opcion of the BIOS mean?

Arctic Cooler 7 . It was a secondhad purchase. No cooler, just heatsink. I adapted a 90 mm cooler, with no 4pin connector. It comes directly from the PSU. I thought thermal throttling was a safe measure that slows down CPU when it reaches high temps.
