I have an Intel Core 2 duo which has happily been crunching SAP for weeks. SAP is supposedly hard on computers as it is memory intensive with long WU’s.
Yesterday I gave the computer some QMC work for a change, and it started crashing. The Intel TAT program is showing a big temperature increase for the new work, it must be more CPU intensive than SAP work.
As the computer is over-clocked somewhat I will have to purchase a better cooler, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro has given me good service in the past for the cost.
I just thought I would pass on this information, as I may help others who find problems when work changes.
