My mistake. The Anti Burn Regulator setting is the Default of 85 deg C, 
no 45. As I type this, I'm watching the temperature and fan speed change 
in the BIOS display. The CPU Temp. External is stable at 36 C / 96 F. 
The CHA Temperature is stable at 25 C / 77 F. The CPU Temp. On Die was 
fluctuating between 42 C and 43 C / 109 F, but is now up to 44 C / 111 
F. The speed of CPUFAN1 is varying between 2766 RPM and 2812 RPM.


I'll try again and see how far I get before an alarm goes off.
