12. Not quite. My AMD and mobo have saved my bacon a few times...
I had put on the heatsink slightly askew on one occasion on one of my boxes. I'd set it to shut down at 70 degrees C.

It shut down without fail.

Another occasion, for another AMD PC, the cooling fan in the power supply died. Computer got VERY hot and shut down at 85 degrees, which was the minimal setting I could use.

I also forgot to plug back in my CPU's fan (Thermal Take Volcano 11 Xaser ed.) Once again, powr shutoff kicked in at 70 degrees.

As long as the AMD CPU has a built in heat sensor (T-breds and newer), there are no problems with overheating. Not for me. Thank goodness!
