What's the best and most recommended software with the following features?

1- Monitors the CPU's temperature
2- Gives alarms in time if approaching the risk borders.

And

3- Automatically shuts down the computer if the user ignores the previously sent alarm.

Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating.

Not necessarilya gauranteed check but look at the fan in the power supply if it's a new power supply it will have a new fan and the fan should be relatively clean, if the fan is old there is usualy quite a bit of dust accumulated on the blades of the fan, and deciding wheather there is a lot of dust or not is a little subjective at best.

I have seen manufacturers glue connectors down like that so that is not necessarily anything bad, you say the connector was loose before, changeing the connector would require desoldering and resoldering a new connector to the MB I wouldn't want a repair shop doing that to my MB usless they have good/high end (de)solderding equipment, it can be easy to mess up a circuit board with the wrong equipment and not being good at soldering.

Is the fan running on the CPU, is the only other cooling in the computer the CPU fan and the power supply fan, if so you may need to install another fan or two, depending on the size of box you have there should be room to install another fan to increase air flow through the case, it don't matter how big or efficient your heatsing/fan is if you are blowing hot at it, so more air through the computer may fix it also.
