it'll turn itselfoff before burning out.
I'm just not gonna risk everything i own to test that theory. I'll risk frying my Mobo or HDD instead.
safety features are in place for a reason. Check your bios.. there is a setting that says at what temperature your pc will turn off at. It works... not sure if you've ever had an overheating issue before. But your pc will start giving warning beeps and then will switch off.
