Re: What to expect after a cooling failure

[Bryan Tong <contact () nullivex com>]

Hello,

In my experience with heating issues the only thing that really degrades
quickly in event of overheating are hard drives. If you had them spun down
it should be fine.

CPU / Memory / Motherboards will be fine.

The only other thing I can think of having possible issues are PSU's but if
they were powered off should be fine as well. Maybe melted wires but I dont
think it was hot enough for that.

Thanks
