Does apple OS X or microsoft windows 8.1 control fan regulation in boot camp?
Using an Early 2015 Retina Macbook Pro (rMBP). I'm concerned about overheating while gaming in boot camp running Windows 8.1. Searching several forums for answers around safe cpu temperatures for macbook pro reveal a general consensus of "it's fine, trust the apple (and intel) engineers that your computer will run fans when it needs to and the cpu will shut down if it reaches an unsafe temperature."
My question is, does the apple SMC control the fan logic while in boot camp running windows, or are the parameters for regulating the fans and cooling determined by windows drivers?
Also, using Speccy in boot camp and Temperature Gauge in OS X, my cpu core temp is getting up to 108 + celsius. I'm guessing this is because these programs don't effectively decode the temperature sensors, as the CPU is supposed to shut itself down at 105C.
