Re: "It will cause a total shutdown, and the threshhold required is catastrophic overheating."

It WILL NOT cause a system shutdown.

It will only provide an electrical signal proportional to the die temperature.

An external monitor program must be written - and interrupt other processes - to monitor the diode.

That EXTERNAL program must then take control of the processor and implement a shutdown.

Or a crash !!!
