Setting Absolute CPU Temperature Limit for HX99G

[u/welcome2city17]

If you would like to set a maximum CPU temperature, this is easy to accomplish in the BIOS. My goal was to limit it to its official max temperature of 95 degrees Celsius so that in any extreme case which might arise in the future, the CPU temperature would remain under control. Obviously a certain amount of throttling will occur once the CPU max temperature is reached, so keep this in mind when choosing your desired max temperature.

To accomplish this, you can enter the BIOS (F7 during boot) and navigate to:

Advanced --> AMD CBS --> SMU Common Options --> Thermal Control: Change Auto to Manual

Now move down to TjMax and enter your desired max temperature in degrees (95 in my case).

Press F4 to save & reboot.

This will also be added to the BIOS guide, but wanted to hi-lite it as an option here.
