Hmm... I just replaced a CPU fan on a box which had been happily running 
FreeBSD for weeks at a time between reboots (prompted either by upgrades or 
by the USB hardware falling over, grr). In my case it never quite reached 
spontaneous reboots, but after a few days of running dnetc the cpu 
temperature would hit 70C and the motherboard would sound a rather 
unpleasant alarm. Period between alarm soundings quite quickly reduced to 
about a day as the fan bearings seized tighter, but the chip runs at 40 
under load with the new one :)
