Just for information:

Yes, I think (hope) the new PC is working as should, despite of the beep...

I let if resize a video with
ffmpeg -i aFishCalledWanda.avi -vf scale=1080:-1 -threads 0 -preset 
veryslow -crf 18 -movflags +faststart wanda.mp4

which should used it at the max. It run perfectly. To be even more mean 
with it, and although gkrellm showed nearly 100% usage of all cores I 
used Yast to install a large application plus surfed the internet with 
firefox, all at the same time.

The processors got hot (98 - 100 °C), but it worked fine. Then I 
encrypted a new external 8TB disk and am installing ext4 file system on 
a single 8TB partition with mkfs.ext4 -c L, which runs since 14:23h and 
is at 97.5% right now with the processors at 54 °C.

For my knowledge this is quite a heavy stress test and it passed. So I 
hope the case is solved.

Thanks everybody for the input!
