I havent actually done a proper test of disconnecting the power to my pump and waiting for cpu temp to climb and see what happens to my system.
The pump is connected via a relay, so its a bit of a mission, ill get around to it one of these days.

Im hoping that my pc would shut down before it crashes... :/

CPU is a XP1800+ BTW, and the waterblock holds very little water in it, so hopefully the temp would rise quick enough for the shut down to execute before anything else is damaged, but slow enough to keep the CPU working without flow.

Anyone want to share some experiences with this?
1) Flow Switch or Flow meter...
2) RPM monitring on Pump...
3) presure sensor of some type?
4) redunacy? 2 pumps?

I myself have an RPM monitor on my pump...
as well as 2 pumps Just in case...
