Actually I believe most motherboards will shutdown when they detect the chip gets too hot, the reason that didnt happen in the THG article was the mobo didnt detect it.
MBM5 will do fine as long as the HS doesnt pop off. The only scenario I see is if you have really bad airflow and it melts like 30seconds after the fan dies, or something goes wrong during the shutdown and it doesnt shut down.
