Does PowerSpec power supply have over-temperature protection?
https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/powerspec-psx-850gfm-850w-psu,5647-6.html
"...this platform either doesn't employ over-temperature protection, or it's set too high."
This reviewer says it doesn't have one, or it's not working well.

Hello @Customer76 and thanks for posting on the Microcenter Community Forum. We're not sure what to say about the review, but there seems to be some lack in validity in the comment of "Over-temperature protection is missing or set too high....". Which is it?
Anyway, yes the Powerspec 850gfm has temperature protection. Most Power Supplies are designed to have this feature. Its a must have when providing power to a computer.
