Acc. to an article at Tomshardware, new motherboards are not equip to handle the Athlon
Palomino because the motherboards do not have safety sensors to read the CPU's temperature and
can self-destruct by overheating.Very scary. I thought most motherboards have temperature detection thermistor included inside the socket
to shut the motherboard down in case the temperature gets a bit too hot?
