A few months ago I bought a high-end PC with a quad-core Xeon CPU.
I have used the PC to run long (12-24 hour) business-related jobs, that
typically keep 2/4 of the cores busy.
Since that time the PC has failed twice, apparently due to overheating.
This occurred in cold weather, with a room temperature of around 65-70.
Is it reasonable to assume that a Xeon-class workstation should be able to handle this type of load indefinitely?
