Most modern CPU will not over heat, but they will slow down a lot to
prevent over heating. Intel and AMD have been doing this for YEARS.
Tom's Hardware had an article on this when the P4 was new. They over heated
a AMD CPU and it hit 5000F or so. If they ever change for Silicon to
Diamond as a semiconductor, a few hundred degrees will be normal.
