Yes, in theory, and in fact that had saved the chip a few times before.
For some reason though, when i upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4 the
temperature monitoring stopped working, at least in software. That may be
one factor. It did actually shut down with a temperature warning, but
would not restart after that. I'd also swapped the graphics card from one
without a fan to one with a fan. Prior to that I think generally the
graphics card would shut down first before the CPU.
