Yes, for the PC. The fact that many PCs are designed with marginal,
at best, cooling is no secret at all. They are not designed to
run with maximum CPU utilization 24/7. The GIMPS program, for example,
is known to cause machines to overheat, and comes with a test for
that particular effect. Many machines cannot participate in the GIMPS
because of that. I suggest you research this well-known phenonmenon.


How is this not a hardware problem? How would you propose that some
random piece of software that needs to do a CPU intensive task avoid
this problem? Why should any software developer feel compelled to write
bad code to cover up bad hardware design?

Of course it's a hardware problem. I haven't said otherwise.

I'd just like to find out what this "random" piece of software
is. If we find that xinetd or X or clockapplet is consuming 94.6% of his
CPU, is this not something worth knowing? OTOH, if we find that he
is running GIMPS, well, we know that's going to heat up his system,
and we can all forget about it.

Then he needs to clean out his case. If that doesn't work, then
he just has a marginal design, which is not uncommon.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
