i run my 900 off a HV power pack. and i have not to this date gotten even a first stage warning out of it. you have to realize from the beginning that these are not harold edgertons strobes so beating them unrelentingly is counter productive and just bad photo work.
it warns you in 3 levels via icons that its getting uncomfortable and then only then after the warnings go unheeded does it go into self preservation mode. of course if you are as dumb as a rock you have the option of turning off the cutoff. at 3rd level overtemp it will fire and it will also beep in anguish as you slowly reduce its usable lifespan with each hot shot after another until........
