Would it survive?

Well I gave my E4300 to my mom (and man is she happy :D) so I'm stuck with my 2.8 until christmas...

Unfortunately, I used to overclock it and it crashed now an then, so I'm an bit scared to do the http://www.computerforum.com/95555-folding-home-challenge-5.html ... It's cooling is OK, but I'm afraid that it will crash if I leave it on at night and it would overheat...

Would it survive?

COOLING:

43CFM 70mm fan (you can hear it over an box fan at medium)
5CFM Northbridge fan (add-on)
2x 80mm case fans (side intake back exhaust)
GFX fan,
2x PSU fans...

I'll post some pics later...
 
OK ... but what would happen if I got an random restart, and it didnt boot, and was just left like that all night?
 
Usually if it doesn boot, it will either sit on a BSOD or on the Post Screen.

Why dont you set it too stock Speeds?

When your in a BSOD, you use about 10-20% of your CPU, so dont worry about that, On the Post Screen, you will use around 3 - 8%.
 
It is at stock speeds, I downclcoked it to the normal 2.8 when it crashed yesterday.... I am just worried it will somehow crash again, causing an restart. And no, the "didn't boot" part is like the screen when you overclocking too much. Nothing.
