THERMAL_TRIP

Event Code: 0x3B

Mask: 0xC0

Category: Power Management Events;

Definition: Number of thermal trips

Description: This event counts the number of thermal trips. A thermal trip occurs whenever the processor temperature exceeds the thermal trip threshold temperature. Following a thermal trip, the processor automatically reduces frequency and voltage. The processor checks the temperature every millisecond, and returns to normal when the temperature falls below the thermal trip threshold temperature.
