Well, I found a weak link in my computer that I built for my house a few years back. It is total overkill for a home email system, but I like over-engineered toys. Not it is drafted into real work.
It is:
It is a tower that has a 1TB mirrored RAID as the boot drive and a second 1TB as a scratch drive. It has a big fan on the front of the case, of course the cooling fan on the power supply, one fan on the back and one on the top.
The CPU fan is 3 inch fan and there is a motherboard fan for the memory and other parts.
With beating on the project the CPU pegs out at 100% usage on all 4 cores and all 8 processors. The memory gets all used and the hard drives are hammering away and full boat read write.
In other words, the software utilized all the resources. It goes along for a few hours and would just LOCK UP tight. I did a power down and restart and saw a CPU overheat warning. So I guess I will add a bigger CPU fan and one more chassis fan.
Now I need to find a good temp monitor program that runs under Win 10. I want something that will go away and not use resources if it is not running.
Off to ask a question of the Pelican brain trust.
