That's a bad approach. Why not replace it with a new one?

BIOS will shutdown the system.

You can fry the micro, sir.
You cannot have a PIII without fan and keep it so all day long. You can
leave the fan for testing purposes and put it back again.

Although PIII is of those exposing "low wattage" (14.5W) and high TCase
(82℃), Intel always recommends it use with the fan. If it is noisy, you
better change it.
