My pc lights start flashing all red when its overheating. Pretty useful cause I won't notice the sound till its crashed. I'm weird like that.
All the lights go out on mine when it overheats, and then there's a puff of white smoke.
Poof!
That's a brilliant idea, but why does your PC have cooling issues? I literally never worry about overheating because I sized my radiators and heatsinks adequately for my equipment, fans set in a positive pressure configuration to minimize dust accumulation. All I gotta do is clean the filters once every few months, and everything stays cool and clean.
If your overheating issues are a result of budgeting issues, I feel for you. Otherwise it wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in better cooling so that you never have to worry about temps.
It doesnt anymore, but it used to!
