The CPU temperature limit is not reported

Expected, nothing to fix

This processor does not report the temperature at which it slows itself down, so Aikonic judges its temperature against fixed figures instead.

Why this happens

Intel processors report their temperature limit, called TjMax, and Aikonic judges the CPU temperature against it: a reading counts as elevated from 20 °C below the limit and as high from 5 °C below. AMD processors, and some older Intel ones, do not report it to Aikonic. For those Aikonic uses fixed figures: elevated from 80 °C, high from 95 °C, and, where the processor gives no throttle flags, near its limit from 95 °C. The Dashboard says which applies. Nothing is wrong with the processor.
