Will there be a safety mechanism that shuts off the system if the chip gets too hot?

There is a temperature sensor on the chip, and as long as the open source software has not been incorrectly modified, it will limit the temperature. In fact the software will automatically hash at the fastest possible speed, limited only by temperature. If you deliver better cooling, or colder air, it will go faster.
