Was a concern for me too, so I went with a well known manufacturer with a proven track record. Eheim. Aquarium bods swear by them, with years of failure free usage.

MBM is also set to shutdown if the cpu ever reaches 50oC (max load temp I have seen on a very hot day is 45oC), I also run a T-Balancer which is totally independant of the pc (onboard chips etc) which is monitoring water temp, cpu temp (probe right next to core) and the radiator fans.. It has a pass through connection for the power button, so can shut everything down if certain thresholds are passed (water temp/cpu temp/fan failure etc).

I am now happy enough to just walk away and leave it running for days on end. Only problem is if it leaks, but I am confident that it wont (hasnt for over 18 months, and I always check it if I have been in the case for whatever reason)

Cheers,
SAm C
