Hope you guys can help.
I run computer engine chess programmes which by there very nature use a lot of processing power close to 100% on some engines. You can set the programme to think when its not its turn, basically when its thinking for any length of time (1 second or more) the connection to the website i'm playing on drops out then reconnects and major lag upto 20 seconds can occur, when i turn the thinking off it stops with no issues (0.222 ping), my internet connection is very good with a full 20mb/s and 22ms pings to local servers. The chess engine can use all 4 cores but it also did it when i told it to use only 2 cores. I might add my cpu is overclocked to 4.2ghz and is generally stable with no heating issues even under load, though i do get the occasional lockup. (perhaps once a week). Why should there be serious lag under above normal cpu loads?
Windows 7 home 64bit
Intel i5 3570k @4.182ghz
16gb 1800mhz Corsair Vengeance ram
Cpu temps while chess engines computing @ 90% load (30'-47c')
H80 Cpu watercooler
Thanks in anticipation.
