A burnt out cob, can be more than a burn out cob, that much is clear....that is clearly worst case scenario, but certainly possible....I took them out because I bought them at too low a cutoff temp. After thinking about it more, I don't think they are necessary. Already have a sink and fan. In fifteen years of building my own computers, I have yet to have a cpu fan fail. Lucky me. If one does fail I won't have a fire, I might have a burnt out cob, but I trust the fan will do its thing for years.
Agreed on cpu fan failure......but not on power supplies.
I am simply curious about using temp as a switch for electricity, rather than the moment it is actually needed....ie catastrophic failure......but in reality I am using this circuit or a derivative of, for testing, thanks @rufus01
