Just FYI I have a small shell script that I run in cron.quarter-hourly/ to 
check the CPU temp, and email if it raises above the set value. Handy to tell 
if a fan fails, or in this case too much load, etc hits the unit and the 
temperature goes skyward. Follow my sig and choose downloads. Script is 
called cpuinfo.sh
Tested on RaQ3 & 4 works nicely here, and has saved a RaQ from meltdown before 
(how unlucky is it for both fans to stop at the same time!)
