hehehe i just thought oh high temperature fro running quake, then looked 75! went straight off.
What gets me is, the warning should have gone off soon as the CPU fan wasnt working

This is why you go for Pentium IVs - do that with an AMD chip and it'll die in seconds.
Pentium IV has damn clever thermal management that senses the temperature is rising and issues HALT instructions to keep things cool. Very, very impressive.

Mine killed the power, sensor's went off at 70- software based.
Then at 75, in the bios it kills power to it.
Like nick said, itll take a lot of heat with it being the Northwood core

I've got a decent mobo (epox 8k7a+ - last year it was good). Point is that the chip'll self destruct before accurately reporting its temperature to the mobo. AMD thermal management is truly pants.

The critical temp for the northwood-based 478pin p4's is 135 celcius if memory serves, at which point the cpu issues a halt command. As Chiark said, the p4 speed throttling/thermal management is really good. Add to that the fact that the p4 temps are read from within the cpu itself and you have a much safer bet if things go pear-shaped
If a heatsink is removed from an Athlon XP under load, the core reaches around 400c in the space of a second or 2 and toast's itself nicely
bye bye cpu.
