Varys with the system. The better systems will
shut down when the
cpu temp gets too high.
The shit will kill the cpu.

Depends on the system again. Modern systems
can usually monitor the
cpu fan speed, either in
the bios or using a ute like MBM etc.
The fan rotating is only half the story. It can get so
badly clogged with fur that it doesnt cool very well
even if its still spinning. You can monitor the cpu temp
the same way as the fan speed with most modern
systems and see what the temperaturing is getting too.

It is a bit tricky. You can kill the
cpu if you dont know what you are doing.
