Leuf - you are very right. That's what I ment to say. Another heat MASS.

Anyhow bottom line is that I think pHaestus hit the nail on the head. Just set a conservative auto shutdown temp. If you are H2O cooling, it shouldn't get too high anywyas.

And the pump dieing in an H2O system is not quite as severe as the fan dieing on a heatsink. It takes longer for it to overheat. I remember when I first watercooled my Celeron 300A back in the day, I unplugged the pump while it was on and watched the BIOS temps escalate... took a bit... I had time to watch the screen for a while and plug the pump back in. Granted, that CPU doesn't exactly put out as much heat as a 2 ghz beast.
