No I do understand the principal, and I don't consider heatsinks falling off myself, but you are correct. However I was commenting in the context of this thread and forum we are in, namely Liquid cooling.
Surely something as sever as a heatsink falling off will lead to core death, (and VGA card death), before the standalone can do anything. How and where does it detect the CPU temp?
In reflection it is a very good second back up but I still think it's wise to have the software as well anyway, (especially if you have nothing else). Like I said before, is there a valid reason why it's not done in the bios now with AMD's?. My Pentium's had a setting shutdown if CPU reaches X temp.............
