The /s and /f are for a forced shutdown (apps are immediately closed), You may get issues with permissions if not run as an admin. You may need to run a batch file if HWInfo is unable to add the /s /f switches.
SpeedFan - Configure>Events, If "sensor" > "Your Temp" then "Execute" "Shutdown.exe" "-s -f", again can be problematic with permissions, I found the easiest way to get another "Shutdown.exe" and take full control of it and execute that.
