And they should. The OS can do pretty sophisticated things in such
manner, while estimating the overheat - it can shut down or freeze
processes nicely, it can hibernate or power down nicely etc. The MB...
Well, via ACPI it can tell the OS to do (at least most of) these things
also, but it (also) should be able to cruely cut the power, in case of
OS crashing hard (you know, kernel panic, BSOD etc) and not being able
to do anything nicely.
