I haven't heard of temperature monitoring for alphas, but I was once
told that they switch themselves off, if the CPU fan fails. I guess, the
safest way is to have a powerful fan attached and to take care that the
case is appropriate in size, i.e. not too crowded with devices.

As far as I've heard, todays Intels and alike are usually hotter than
40C.
