FYI: Odd PowerMac 2-socket/2-cores-each (16 GiByte) crashes: looks like over-temperature (a "quad" bites the dust?)

During my attempt to upgrade from head -r360311 to
-r363123 the old PowerMac has quit responding, without
notification of why. The fans were going (expected
even during normal operation for what I was doing)
but the fan(s) did not wind up to full-noise/speed.

Well, the machine finally did an automatic shutdown
successfully, so the logs files were updated. What I
found was:

It has a single-pump liquid cooling system.

I'm now testing the media in the 12 GiByte 2-socket/2-cores-each
(2 pumps) as a cross check on HW vs. SW. (Likely HW.) I've
started up poudriere again. The 16 GiByte PowerMac failed in
somewhat under 30 min of poudriere bulk activity (with a load
average of more than 4 much of the time). . . . On the 12 GiByte,
it has been 105 min+ with 0 temperature notices.

So another old single-pump "Quad" may have bit the dust but the
dual-pump one is still going.

The 12 GiByte PowerMac has bad memory slot(s) and so cannot have
16 GiBytes of usable RAM. (I no longer remember the details.)
