The Final Analysis
There really is none. I have tried a number of things to replicate the situation, none of which has worked but then, I don't have another TBred to even try (not that I necessarily would). Setting the bus speed to impossible settings did not cause the fan to shut down. Changing the multiplier on a Palomino is either ignored (locked CPU) or else results in a normal boot (unlocked CPU). Disconnecting the fan from the header caused the ASUS COP to shut down the system after the die reached the shutdown temperature, even though the A7V333 reads the temperature in the CPU socket.
 PWR and CPU fan headers next to each other.

I have no means of proving either, it might as well have been a freak accident but even that is reason enough to post this as a word of warning.
Do not hook up the CPU fan to the PWR header but make sure that it is connected to the CPU fan header.
