| What if Your CPU Cooler Fails? the Pentium Dual Core E2160, which is a low-cost processor rated at a TDP of 65 W, managed to complete all ten benchmarks with the CPU fan disconnected! Compared to the 45 W of AMD's Athlon X2 BE-2350, this processor cannot possibly go as high as 65 W, as it would have shut down at some point. http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/09/...ls/page15.html

| I guess you missed the point It merely points out the low thermal load; the reference of shut off is just a matter of cause.

| that the design of the E2160 is pretty darn good, offering good power reducing failover features in case over fan failure to keep the PC running, reducing performance a bit (10-30%)
