You're crazy, man! Athlons don't have thermal protection do they? Can they melt themselves, or will they shut down?

The A64/FX/Opteron does. The Athlon does not have integrated thermal protection, no. The board takes care of it. I disabled it for that test.
Besides, it's a Palomino 1700. It overclocks like crap (<2GHz tops), and it's of no interest to me what-so-ever at anything less than 2GHz. So, I wouldn't have been terribly distraught if it had died.

Those idle or folding?
