<br>
IMHO, the 4 core (or 4/8 core) is what you need.<br>
what you describe should not happen.<br>
If the </font>system in under warranty, use it. <br>
if not there are several options:<br>
if the system is old replacing the thermal paste between the processor
and the heat sink might help.<br>
when the thermal paste is old and try is it less effective.<br>
wrong output voltages of the power supply can cause such a thing. if
you can, switch power supply with other system and see if this helps.<br>
get a bigger heat sink, something like this<br>

<br>
or, go to a near by computer store and and ask them to fix it.<br>

Hi folks, <br>
I'm looking for affordable workstation for heavy number crunching, not
x86-64 multicore. It seems that multicore systems have problems with
cooling (physically it is pretty clear). My current amd-64 4-core
machine works fine only if less than 2 cores have 100% load. Rougly
2*100 work 20 min before temperature becomes high, 4*100 can last
couple of minuts only. Last year I have already burned processor and
do not want repeat the experience. <br>
<br>
I'll be glad to know my options other than open the box and add fans or
set air conditioner in my working place to very low temperature. <br>
<br>
